Red Sox starter Tanner Houck said he’s at peace with his decision to undergo Tommy John surgery.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2025 season, Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced Saturday.

Houck had non-surgical alternatives available, including platelet-rich plasma and stem-cell treatment, to try to fix his arm. But those would have merely been “delaying the inevitable,” he said.
