Jordan Montgomery

The Diamondbacks have moved Jordan Montgomery to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery has posted a 6.44 ERA across 19 starts for Arizona this season. Ryne Nelson will maintain his spot in the starting rotation as a result.

Jordan Montgomery struggled mightily in Wednesday's matchup against the Marlins, surrendering six earned runs on ten hits while striking out four over 5.2 innings.

Fantasy Impact

The Diamondbacks still managed to secure a 10-8 victory, but Montgomery's performance did little to inspire confidence. His season ERA ballooned to 6.44, accompanied by a concerning 1.67 WHIP. Given these metrics and his low strikeout rate of 6.3 K/9, fantasy managers should be wary. Montgomery's inability to limit hits and runs significantly diminishes his value in all formats, and his high BABIP of .355 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but not enough to expect significant improvement. Proceed with caution if considering him for your fantasy rotation.

Jordan Montgomery turned in a solid outing on Wednesday, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings in the Diamondbacks' 11-4 victory over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the win, Montgomery's season-long stats paint a less rosy picture, with a bloated 6.25 ERA and 1.66 WHIP through 18 starts. His performance against Colorado showed some signs of improvement, particularly in his ability to generate strikeouts, a welcome sight given his subpar 6.4 K/9 rate this season. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, however, as his overall metrics suggest volatility, and his high BABIP (.350) indicates he might still be prone to giving up hits. This outing might be a step in the right direction, but Montgomery's fantasy reliability remains questionable at best.

Jordan Montgomery had another rough outing in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings. This performance continues a concerning trend for Montgomery, whose season ERA has now ballooned to 6.37, with a WHIP of 1.68. His strikeout rate remains low at 5.9 K/9, indicating a lack of dominance on the mound. Given these metrics, especially his high BABIP of .350 and a FIP of 4.60 that suggests underlying issues, fantasy managers should be cautious. Montgomery's current form makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.

Jordan Montgomery had a brief appearance on Saturday, allowing one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out three over three innings in the Diamondbacks' 4-2 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was somewhat typical of Montgomery's challenging season, marked by a high 6.37 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. His short outing this game, driven by a high pitch count early, underscores ongoing issues with efficiency and control. Given his season-long struggles with strikeouts and walks, fantasy managers should view him as a risky play. His inability to work deep into games consistently limits his potential for wins and quality starts, further diminishing his value in most fantasy formats.
