8/10/24 San Francisco Giants Re-sign Versatile Reliever to Minor League Deal. Spencer Howard's circuitous road these past two seasons led back to San Francisco, as the Giants signed him to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento. Howard pitched on Friday for the River Cats and threw a scoreless inning. The 28-year-old right-hander has been a free agent since July 28 when he opted to test the market instead of accepting an assignment to Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after he cleared waivers. Because he's a minor-league signing, if the Giants call him up it will require both a 40-man and 26-man roster move.

6/30/24 Former Philadelphia Phillies Top Prospect DFA'ed By Giants. The San Francisco Giants designated for assignment a former Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher who at one time was among the players the team hoped would be the future of their rotation. Right-hander Spencer Howard, the Phillies' second-round pick in 2017, was DFA'ed on Sunday by the Giants in a move designed to provide their bullpen with a fresh arm after an 11-inning game with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants called Landen Roupp up from Triple-A Sacramento. The curious part of the move is that Howard has been pitching some of his best baseball with the Giants.

6/09/24 Former Phillies Second-Round Pick Shines In First Start In Two Years. Former Philadelphia Phillies top prospect Spencer Howard made his first Major League start in two years when he started for the San Francisco Giants on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. Howard looked like the pitcher the Phillies hoped he would become as he made his first start since Aug. 7, 2022. Oddly enough, Howard's start pitted him against his other former team, as he played for the Rangers from 2021-23 after Philadelphia traded him.

6/03/24 Where do SF Giants turn after Blake Snell's 'frustrating' second injury?. Bob Melvin gave it some thought and did the math. “So, that's five,” the Giants manager said, finishing his answer to a reporter's question Monday afternoon before his team opened a three-game series against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. As in, five healthy starting pitchers, a figure Melvin could only claim by including the pitcher expected to take down bulk innings in relief that night, Spencer Howard, and looking ahead to the anticipated return of one full-time member of the rotation, Keaton Winn. Winn has made enough progress on his way back from forearm tightness to warrant a seat on the team charter this trip — he could be an option if all goes well in a rehab outing scheduled for Tuesday at the Giants' minor-league complex — but the loss of Blake Snell means the Giants' rotation won't return to full strength anytime soon.

5/29/24 Former Philadelphia Phillies Top Prospect Dominated Them on Tuesday. The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a tough extra innings loss on Tuesday, and to top it off, one of their former top prospects cruised against the team in relief. Spencer Howard made his San Francisco Giants debut, against the Phillies after he was called up prior to the game on Tuesday. It was his first time facing Philadelphia since leaving the team, and he made sure they remembered who he is. Howard maxed out at 96 mph and got seven whiffs from Phillies hitters, with all four strikeouts being swinging.

7/07/23 Phillies' top 30 prospects: How they are faring as MLB trade deadline approaches?. Major League Baseball's trade deadline is Aug. 1. The Phillies will be buyers as they again battle several teams for a wild-card berth. They are sitting 11 games behind the Braves in the loss column entering Friday's series-opener in Miami against the Marlins. Pitching is Philadelphia's biggest need, which other than last season (Edmundo Sosa) was the focus of their recent trade-deadline acquisitions. Management has had to part with promising prospects (mostly pitchers: Spencer Howard, Jo Jo Romero, Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold) in those deals. With the Phillies coming off a World Series appearance in 2022 and in win-now mode with their current roster structure, they may have to part with

3/20/23 2022 in review: Spencer Howard. With the 2022 regular season over, it is that time where we go back and take a look at the players who appeared for the Texas Rangers this past season. Today, we look at pitcher Spencer Howard. During his time in the big leagues in 2022, Spencer Howard walked 7.9% of the batters he faced, compared to 8.2% for MLB as a whole. It was a disaster of a year, a season where the former top 50 prospect took a big step backwards, one that leads one to wonder if he can ever be an effective major league pitcher in any role.

8/11/22 Howard to i.l., King recalled. The Texas Rangers placed Spencer Howard on the 15 day injured list prior to last night’s game. To take Howard’s place on the active roster, the Rangers recalled pitcher John King from AAA Round Rock. Howard has been placed on the injured list with a “shoulder impingement,” which could be something significant and which could be something very minor, though Chris Woodward said it was apparently significant enough that Howard wasn’t going to be able to make his next start.

7/28/22 Rangers Pitching Overpowers Angels. Spencer Howard and the Texas bullpen got the better of Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels as the Texas Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory on Thursday night. The Rangers (44-54) still had trouble getting runs across the plate. But between Nathaniel Lowe and Corey Seager, Texas did just enough to support Howard (2-2) and the Rangers bullpen, which protected the young starter’s lead.
