It only took one day in Toronto for Tanner Houck’s absence to be felt.
Houck, who is not in Canada due to his vaccination status, was supposed to start Game 2 in the series on Tuesday. But the Sox reshuffled their staff last week, adding Garrett Whitlock to the rotation, pushing back Rich Hill (bereavement list) and letting Houck pitch out of relief on Sunday.
Monday, Houck and Kutter Crawford were placed on the restricted list for the four-game set in Toronto and Tyler Danish, added to the roster along with John Schreiber to replace them, was called on in the eighth inning of a tie game.
