Spencer Howard Stats

The Texas Rangers have recalled right-hander Spencer Howard from Triple-A. He will be the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles. In a corresponding move, fellow right-hander Josh Sborz was sent to Triple-A. Howard has struggled over his three appearances in the majors so far this year. Over 6.2 innings, he's allowed 10 hits, two walks and nine earn runs while striking out 12. On the bright side, he pitched well at Triple-A in June, posting a 2.53 ERA an a 0.94 WHIP over 32 innings. We'll see if he can carry that success over to the majors.

Texas Rangers pitcher Spencer Howard (finger) is scheduled to start Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. He was initially set to return from the 10-day injured list for Friday's series opener in Oakland but will start Sunday's game with Jon Gray (knee) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list. Howard was obliterated in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays, surrendering six runs on six hits, including four homers, and no walks while striking out five in three innings before being placed on the IL with a blister. The right-hander has upside but is mainly a stash in deep-league formats for now.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Spencer Howard (blister) was placed on the 10-day injured list, according to the Dallas Morning News. Howard was scheduled to start on Friday, but GM Chris Young said the team will go with a bullpen game against the Angels. Howard was a former top prospect with the Phillies, but some of the shine has worn off as he was traded to Texas last season as part of the Ian Kennedy trade. Howard was shelled in his first start this season against the Blue Jays, as he allowed six runs in three innings, including allowing four home runs. Howard is not a priority to keep rostered except in the very deepest of dynasty leagues.
