The Phillies have just issued a statement on the status of all-Star first baseman Ryan Howard, who was hospitalized twice this weekend and had a fever that ran as high as 103.9 degrees.

"Ryan Howard was seen by (team physician) Dr. Marc Harwood today. After reviewing previous tests and evaluating him, Dr. Harwood has diagnosed him with acute sinusitis," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr said. "His fever is gone and he will rest at home today. If he feels better, Ryan will travel tomorrow to Tampa Bay to rejoin the team. We are hopeful he will be able to play tomorrow as well."
