Art Howe released from hospital amid coronavirus battle

Former major league player and manager Art Howe was released from a hospital in Houston on Sunday after spending time in intensive care last week with the coronavirus.

"Relief, back in my own bedroom, it's just sweet," he told multiple media outlets. "It was a long five days or so. I'm finally feeling a little bit better. Still not able to eat real good, taste buds are giving me a hard time. It's just nice to be back home and hopefully continue to progress."

He said that he will have to be isolated at his home for another week to two weeks.
