Red Sox Facing $14 Million Decision After Season-Ending Injury News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox are sitting in third place in a competitive American League East despite being nine games over .500 at 60–51, trailing both the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck reacted to news on Sunday that he has to undergo Tommy John surgery.

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.

"Guys are playing with an edge now. You can tell. Like I said, this place is fun again." The post Red Sox cite ‘advantage’ created by Fenway Park amid recent hot streak appeared first on Boston.com.
