Spencer Howard allowed four runs including a pair of home runs Saturday against the Padres.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Guardians have released right-hander Spencer Howard, the right-hander acquired earlier this month from San Francisco in exchange for cash. Righty Peter Strzelecki has rejoined the team from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Padres at Progressive Field.
Strzelecki, 29, joined the Guardians at the end of spring training in a trade from Arizona for cash. He pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings across four outings across two separate stints with the Guardians in April and May, allowing five hits while striking out three. In 30 appearances for Columbus, Strzelecki posted a 4.18 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings.
“With where we’re at with the bullpen, he can give us a couple innings of length if we need it,” Vogt said. “He can also pitch in leverage. He’s thrown well for us every time he’s been up here.” “Every time Zays takes the ball up here, he goes out and competes and that’s just who he is,” Vogt said. “I just love the way he attacks and competes and Zay meets every challenge with a great smile on his face, a great attitude. This is somebody who’s just a true competitor and a big part of our team.”
