saw right-handed pitcher Spencer Howard as one of the future pieces of their starting rotation. Now, the franchise watches from afar as he continues to bounce around Major League Baseball.
It’s been more than three years since the Phillies traded him after they selected him in the second round out of Cal Poly and later threw the first no-hitter in Class-A Lakewood BlueClaws history. Howard didn’t make San Francisco’s Opening-Day roster but eventually earned a call-up and slid into a primary relief role this season after he was called up from Sacramento on May 28. He was 1-1 with a 3.80 ERA in six appearances and 21.1 innings. He struck out 21 and walked nine.
