Phillies RHP Howard (shoulder stiffness) lands on IL


The Philadelphia Phillies placed right-hander Spencer Howard on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to shoulder stiffness.

The 24-year-old rookie left Saturday night’s start in Miami in the fourth inning. He allowed three runs on two hits in 3 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking two. He exited after giving up a three-run homer to Brian Anderson.

A second-round draft pick in 2017, Howard is 1-2 with a 5.92 ERA through six starts. He has struck out 23, walked 10 and allowed six homers in 24 1/3 innings.

The Phillies recalled right-hander Connor Brogdon from the alternate training site and added right-hander Ramon Rosso as the 29th man for Sunday’s doubleheader against the Marlins.
