Sam Howard Recalled From Triple-A
6 years agoThe Colorado Rockies have recalled rookie pitcher Sam Howard from Triple-A Albuquerque to cover for Harrison Musgrave after the All-Star break. Musgrave was sidelined due to a strained hip flexor, but the team expects him back after missing just one series. In the meantime, Howard may get the chance to see a little action for the big-league club. Howard threw one shutout inning in his major league debut earlier this season, but he's otherwise been relegated to starting duty in the minors. Howard hasn't been very impressive as a starter, compiling a 5.43 ERA over 14 starts, but he wouldn't be the first starter who found more success as a reliever.
