Eligibility

Fantasy Impact
Montas’ move to the injured list is not a surprise since he stated Sunday he would likely miss his next start. Nick Martinez will fill in for Montas in the rotation.
Frankie Montas exited Sunday’s game iwth a right forearm bruise.
Fantasy Impact
Montas was struck by a comebacker, but luckily X-rays were negative. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Frankie Montas struggled mightily, allowing five earned runs on three hits and five walks while striking out only one over two innings in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This outing ballooned his ERA to 4.34 and WHIP to 1.45 for the season, further inflating concerns about his control and effectiveness. Montas's inability to pitch deep into games, coupled with his high walk rate, makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues. His next start will be a critical test to determine if he can adjust and regain form.
Despite entering Tuesday's contest with an impressive 2.16 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP, Frankie Montas found himself on the wrong end of a 9-5 defeat against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Over five innings, Montas allowed six hits and three earned runs, striking out four while walking just one. This performance marks a slight deviation from his strong start to the season. The increase in his ERA and the loss added to his record may raise eyebrows among fantasy managers, but considering his solid underlying metrics, including a 3.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .280 BABIP, Montas remains a valuable asset in fantasy rotations.
Frankie Montas turned in another sterling performance against the Philadelphia Phillies, guiding the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1.
Fantasy Impact
Over 5.2 innings, Montas limited the Phillies to just one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters. This outing not only secured his second win of the young season but also reinforced his status as a reliable fantasy asset so far this season. With a 0.77 ERA and a WHIP of 1.03 through his first two starts, Montas is making a strong case for fantasy relevance this season.
