Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi talked about top pitching prospect Spencer Howard on Thursday, but did not give a definitive answer on whether he could make the opening day roster in a shortened season.

When asked by Mike Missanelli of 97.5 The Fanatic about Howard’s chances of making a potential 29-man roster when baseball’s hiatus is over, Girardi said that it would depend on the 23-year-old’s progress.

“I really don’t know,” Girardi said.
