Ryan Howard may need more than the 15-day minimum that a disabled list stay requires. According to Jack McCaftery of the Delaware County Times, Howard needs a "procedure" on his knee. Chris Branch of the Delaware News Journal says Howard will be out 6-8 weeks:
Howard has meniscus tear. Ruben compares it to Kratz's injury. Could be 6-8 weeks.

Darin Ruf will finally get a long, clear look. That may not be a bad thing. Get well, Ryan.
