Howard Hits the DL

In a quite expected move, Ryan Howard was officially placed on the 15 Day DL. He should have already been out of your lineup but if you were holding out hope you definately need to pick up someone to fill his shoes for the time being. His DL stint is retroactive to last Wednesday's pinch hit grand slam so he is eligible to come off the DL Thursday the 24th -- If he's ready by then. He should be, but you never know.
