Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard (knee) could be available as a pinch-hitter over the weekend, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

After going to the emergency room Monday to have his knee drained, Howard reported that he was optimistic he'd be able to return this weekend. The first baseman is targeting a return to full-time duty at some point over the upcoming nine game road trip that begins Friday.
