Rest-of-Season Projections
Sent to minor-league camp
The Giants reassigned Howard to minor-league camp Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Nov. 10 and was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster. He posted a 1.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB over 9.2 innings, but it ultimately wasn't enough. Howard has struggled at the big-league level, but a productive stint in Triple-A could give the Giants a reason to call him up to the majors this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Move to bullpen could be coming
Howard may lose starts, possibly to Drew Anderson, after allowing five runs in two innings Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The righty has been tagged for eight runs and 10 hits in 7.1 innings since joining the Rangers. Howard's inability to provide length as a starter is evident, as he's lasted no more than three innings in any of his Texas outings and reached the four-inning mark just twice with Philadelphia before the trade. Drew Anderson, meanwhile, provided five innings of one-run ball in relief Thursday, suggesting that he may deserve an opportunity in the starting rotation. If such a move occurred, Howard would presumably be a long reliever, or a scheduled piggyback in Anderson's starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Acquired by the Rangers from the Phillies at the 2021 trade deadline, Howard failed to take a step forward last season and surrendered 31 earned runs across 37.2 frames in the big leagues. The one-time top prospect has now made 35 appearances in the majors and has a 7.09 ERA, and his numbers at the Triple-A level (4.73 ERA and 1.32 WHIP) in 2022 were also unimpressive. Howard is still just 26 years old, but his prospect pedigree has faded fast over the past couple years. The Rangers completely revamped their starting rotation during the offseason with the signings of Jacob deGrom, Nate Eovaldi and Andrew Heaney, and Howard is unlikely to be counted on for more than a couple spot starts in 2023.
