He is sporting a 5.05 ERA in 13 starts this season. Gradually, though, the right-hander was starting to figure things out again.</p><p>Cora does not have the luxury to be picky. Houck will immediately regain an important role on this staff as he looks to put his frightening injury ordeal behind him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As they look to finish out the year strong, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chaim-bloom-optimistic-red-sox-hot-streak" rel="noopener">Red Sox could be getting</a> back two of their premiere pitchers in short order.</p><p>Chris Sale<a href="https://twitter.com/MikeMonaco_/status/1681730352388407296" rel="noopener"> is set to throw</a> another bullpen session before eventually moving to a rehab assignment. Tanner Houck, and Garrett Whitlock, are said to be coming along well in their injury recoveries as well, via Mike Monaco of ESPN. While none of the three pitchers have an exact return date, all seem to be progress towards a Boston comeback sooner rather than later.</p><p>Sale has been out since early June with a shoulder injury. He is expected to throw upwards of two more bullpen sessions before going on his assignment. If <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chris-sale-receives-optimistic-injury-update-amid-red-sox-losing-streak" rel="noopener">Sale continues to prove</a> his health at every step, he will make it back to the Red Sox in the midst of their playoff chase. While his 4.58 ERA doesn’t jump off the page, Sale has a solid 71/15 ERA this season and didn’t allow more than three runs in his six starts before going down with injury.</p><p>Houck and Whitlock didn’t get an exact estimate nor game plan for their recovery. However, overall, things seem to be pointing up for both. Houck has been out since June after undergoing facial surgery while Whitlock has been out since early July with elbow problems.</p><p>If Boston truly wants to compete, they’ll need their pitching staff at full strength. While they might have to wait a little longer, the Red Sox are poised to gain some pitching back for the stretch run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
