Cubs reinstate RHP Zambrano, release RHP Howry
DENVER (AP) -The Chicago Cubs reinstated right-hander Carlos Zambrano from the restricted list Friday and granted reliever Bob Howry his unconditional release.
Zambrano was suspended June 26, a day after he got into a verbal altercation with teammate Derrick Lee. The two exchanged words in the Cubs dugout after Zambrano was pulled from his start after allowing four runs in the first inning against the Chicago White Sox.
Zambrano was placed on the restricted list June 29. He made one appearance for the Mesa Cubs of the Rookie League and three with Triple-A Iowa.
Howry was 0-3 with a 5.66 ERA in 24 appearances after signing with Chicago on May 21.
