ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tanner Houck (shoulder fatigue) is still on schedule to start Wednesday. The Red Sox and Rays will play at 6:50 p.m. here at Tropicana Field. Boston lost 8-3 here Tuesday to drop to below .500 (75-76) for the first time since June 11.

Tanner Houck could go the rest of the year without throwing another pitch and his season would be a success. The right-hander has set a new career high in innings pitched, earned his first All-Star nod and established himself as a dependable starter,
