Ryan Howard expected to return Sunday

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, who is dealing with right groin tightness, is expected to return to the starting lineup Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Howard, who was held out of Saturday's game, was active during infield drills with his teammates and is expected to be available as a pinch-hitter.

"He's feeling better," manager Charlie Manuel said. "We decided to give him another day. He still has some stiffness and soreness. More than likely, he'll be ready to go [Sunday]."
