Houck shouldn't miss any time after getting hit in his start on Friday.

Tanner Houck turned in a masterful performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in Friday's 7-3 victory over the Tigers.

Fantasy Impact

This outing continues a strong season for Houck, who now boasts a 1.85 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP through 12 starts. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, coupled with a solid 8.7 K/9 and an exceptional 5.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Given his consistent performance and low BABIP of .274, which suggests some sustainability, fantasy managers should consider Houck a reliable option in their rotations, especially in categories that reward ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts.

Houck added seven strikeouts to one walk in the quality start, but did not factor into the decision. He now carries a 1.90 ERA on the season.

Tanner Houck delivered a masterclass performance, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings in Monday's 5-0 victory over the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

This outing is a testament to Houck's growing dominance on the mound, lowering his already impressive ERA to 1.94 and WHIP to 0.95. His consistent ability to suppress hits and maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.17) makes him a formidable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward pitching precision and efficiency. Houck should be viewed as a high-upside starter in all formats, capable of contributing significantly in ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts.

Tanner Houck took a tough loss Wednesday, allowing one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings against the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his solid performance, the Red Sox fell 4-3, continuing a trend of poor run support for Houck. His season ERA now sits impressively at 2.17, with a WHIP of 1.02, indicating strong underlying metrics that should reassure fantasy managers. However, his record drops to 3-6, highlighting the disconnect between his individual performance and team outcomes. Houck's high strikeout rate and excellent FIP suggest he remains a valuable fantasy asset, though wins might be harder to come by if the Red Sox's offense doesn't pick up.
