Impact
Pittsburgh isn't envisioning a long-term stay on the injured list for Howard, who was deactivated Sunday due to right knee tendinitis. Before the injury played a factor in Howard surrendering six runs while recording just two outs in a June 18 outing versus Cleveland, he had posted a 2.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across his first 32 appearances out of the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Shut down with knee issue
The Pirates placed Howard on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to right knee tendinitis.
Impact
The injury likely played a part in Howard's worst outing of the season Friday, when he was lit up for six runs on four hits and two walks while retiring just two Cleveland batters. The disastrous showing moved Howard's season ERA from a tidy 2.45 all the way up to 4.44. Pittsburgh recalled lefty Austin Davis from Triple-A Indianapolis to fill Howard's spot in the bullpen.

Disastrous showing Friday
Howard gave up six earned runs on four hits and two walks while recording only two outs in Friday's 11-10 win over the Indians.
Impact
He surrendered a grand slam to Cesar Hernandez in his worst outing of 2021. Howard threw only 18 of 33 pitches for strikes, leading to his struggles. The lefty had compiled a 2.45 ERA and nine holds in 25.2 innings prior to Friday but saw his earned-run average jump nearly two runs to 4.44 after Friday's blowup.

Earns win in relief
Howard (1-0) earned the win in relief Thursday against the Cubs after striking out the side in a spotless inning.
Impact
Howard pitched the sixth inning of the season opener and was absolutely dominant -- he tossed nine of his 13 pitches for strikes. That said, the entire Pirates bullpen was lights out, allowing just one run across six frames between six hurlers. Howard is coming off the best season of his career in 2020, as he posted a 3.86 ERA with a career-best 1.24 WHIP across 21 innings (22 appearances).
