Howard home resting, could play Tuesday

Phillies slugger Ryan Howard could return to the lineup Tuesday at Tampa Bay after being hospitalized over the weekend with flu symptoms. The team said on Monday that he has acute sinusitis. Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement that Howard was resting at home and would rejoin the team for the three-game series if he felt well enough. Howard missed Sunday's 2-1 loss to Baltimore, ending his consecutive games streak at 343.
