Phillies starter Spencer Howard left Monday’s game with two outs in the top of the fourth with a calloused-over blister on his right middle finger. The initial blister was suffered during a recent outing with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The Phillies believe he’ll be fine for his next start, whether it is with the Phillies or with another team.
Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported after the game that the Phillies aren’t completely against the idea of dealing their former top prospect.
