It was an ugly spring for Red Sox righty Tanner Houck, and there's some reason to be concerned about him heading into his regular season debut Friday.

A pair of solo first-pitch home runs by Wilyer Abreu and Kristian Campbell were the notable exceptions. It was each player’s first round-trippers of the preseason, an encouraging sign as Abreu missed most of the Grapefruit League schedule as he recovered from a viral gastrointestinal illness and Campbell is the frontrunner for the second-base job.

Rafael Devers' struggles should not overshadow Tanner Houck's poor spring training performance and something that the Boston Red Sox should definitely be worried about in the rotation.
