Ryan Howard Returns from the DL
The Big Piece has been reinserted.
The Phillies activated Ryan Howard from the disabled list and placed Ross Gload on the 15-day DL to make room for him. Gload's been struggling with a right groin strain.
It looks like Howard's 1-2 performance, with a double, walk, and RBI last night, was enough to bring him back. That means he won't be making a rehab start at Lehigh tonight- that's ok, the Allentown folks will always have Dorney.
The stretch run begins tonight against Stephen Strasburg.
