J.P. Howell allowed one run in six innings for Triple-A Durham on Thursday.
With a 2.11 ERA in seven starts for Durham, Howell can't be far away from getting his first opportunity to join Tampa Bay's rotation. He probably won't have any fantasy value initially.
I was not a fan of the trade when it first came around, but Howell is looking very good for the Durham team, and maybe he'll doing something for the Rays (be a good SP maybe?) soon.
