Tanner Houck has been scratched from his scheduled start for the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees due to right shoulder fatigue. Rookie right-hander Richard Fitts replaced Houck on the mound at Yankee Stadium, making his second career start in a game with playoff implications.

“He talked a little bit about it when he pitched against the Mets. He was very honest about it during the week,” Boston manager Alex Cora said Friday. “And like I told him, I said, ‘Don’t try to play superhero here. If you can go, you go. But if you feel something, let us know.’”Yankees moving Marcus Stroman to the bullpen next week
Fitts was acquired from the Yankees last December in the trade that sent outfielder Alex Verdugo to New York — a rare deal between the longtime rivals. Boston began the night 4 1/2 games behind Minnesota for the final AL wild card. New York had the best record in the American League at 85-62 and was two games ahead of second-place Baltimore in the AL East.
