Texas Ranger President Mike Stone says left-hander Steve Howe, former Dodger relief pitcher, could be brought up from the team’s farm club this week.
“We didn’t sign Steve Howe with the intention of him being in the minor leagues,” Stone said.
Said Ranger Manager Bobby Valentine: “He could help us right now. I think he could have helped us four days ago.”
The former Dodger is 2-2 since joining the Oklahoma City 89ers last month, and has a 3.72 earned-run average. He started three games for the 89ers but was moved to the bullpen Sunday, pitching only one inning in Oklahoma City’s 7-6 victory over Omaha.
