Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard is unlikely to return this season as he continues to work his way back from knee surgery. Howard began baseball activities Thursday and has already lost 15 to 20 pounds, according to general manager Ruben Amaro.
"With him being healthy and having the whole offseason and spring training ahead of him, I think he can get to that," interim manager Ryne Sandberg said, per MLB.com. "Baseball shape, getting trimmed up into a weight that's a playing weight, along with having his knee behind him. I think he favored that this year, not really having his leg strength all the time with his batting."
