Jordan Montgomery to open the season in the bullpen

Jordan Montgomery will open the season in the Arizona bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery and Ryne Nelson will open the season in the bullpen after losing the competition for the fifth spot in the rotation. The 32-year-old is drawing trade interest as well and could be on the move prior to Opening Day.

Jordan Montgomery draws trade interest

The Diamondbacks are getting trade calls about Jordan Montgomery, per team updates, after he threw 2.2 scoreless innings with 2 strikeouts Wednesday in his second spring start.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery’s 2.2 scoreless innings with 3 hits, 1 walk, and 2 K’s Wednesday, post-finger strain, boost his trade buzz while vying with Brandon Pfaadt and Ryne Nelson for Arizona’s fifth rotation spot. He’s set for one more start. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his arm for early value, whether with the Diamondbacks or a new team in 2025.

Jordan Montgomery throws sim game Thursday

Jordan Montgomery tossed 40 pitches across two simulated innings on the backfields Thursday, per team updates, opting for a controlled session over a rained-out Cactus League start.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery, roughed up last Saturday, used Thursday’s 40-pitch sim game to rebuild rhythm. Slated fifth in Arizona’s rotation, he’s got until April 5 to prep, thanks to an early off-day. Fantasy managers can expect a steady arm once he’s sharp, with his next Cactus League outing key to gauging readiness.

Jordan Montgomery shifts to back field Thursday

Jordan Montgomery’s next spring outing will be on a back field Thursday instead of a Cactus League game, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery got tagged in his debut last Saturday—lasting a third of an inning—but the D-backs chalk this switch to Thursday rain risks, not that flop, as he plays catch-up from an early camp finger tweak. Fantasy managers can keep his rotation slot warm; he’s building back with time to spare.

Jordan Montgomery (finger) slated to pitch Friday

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Jordan Montgomery (finger) will take the mound Friday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery’s been held back this spring by a left index finger strain, but Friday’s outing—whether in Cactus League play against the Angels or a minor league game—marks a key leap forward for the southpaw. His late start likely knocks him out of the Opening Day rotation mix. Fantasy managers can still draft him for mid-rotation upside, but expect a delayed debut.
