Howard was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Howard was added to the 40-man roster and called up after the team designated Mark Reynolds for assignment. He figures to provide bullpen depth for the club after posting a 3.83 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 44.2 innings in a relief role for Albuquerque this season.

Howard was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This isn't all too surprising. Howard spent the 2018 season with the Rockies but was non-tendered following the season. The 26-year-old southpaw will provide bullpen depth for Colorado.

Howard re-signed with the Rockies on a minor-league contract earlier this month, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard made four appearances out of the Colorado bullpen in 2018 but wasn't able to maintain his spot on the 40-man roster heading into the winter. He'll get the opportunity to compete for a bullpen gig with the big club in spring training, though it's most likely he'll end up at Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the campaign.

Howard was non-tendered by the Rockies on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard emerged in the big leagues during the 2018 campaign, tossing four innings out of the bullpen and allowing one run while punching out one batter. He figures to get at least a few more shots at major-league action in 2019, assuming he signs elsewhere over the offseason.

Howard was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Howard has spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Albuquerque, compiling a 5.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 80:34 K:BB across 96 innings with the Isotopes. He figures to provide additional depth down the stretch, though Howard's lack of big-league experience coupled with his underwhelming minor-league numbers suggest he'll be limited to low-leverage work.
