This was just the second game Montgomery has pitched this season. He allowed three runs in two innings in his season debut on September 15 against the Blue Jays. Montgomery is coming back from TJ surgery and is trying to earn a spot in the next years rotation.

Montgomery continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery from last year. The 26-year-old lefty shut down from throwing in June due to shoulder inflammation, but he's progressed to throwing batting practice, which likely means he's closing in on a rehab stint. Montgomery may be on the mound later in the season and fantasy owners in deeper leagues should keep him on their watchlist.

Montgomery said he’s had no setbacks to this point in his rehab as he comes back from Tommy John surgery. His current timetable has him returning to the Yankees in August.

Jordan Montgomery underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery also had a loose bone chip removed from his elbow during Thursday's procedure. As is the case with any Tommy John surgery, the left-hander will likely remain sidelined for 12-to-14 months, which casts serious doubt on his status for the 2019 season. Look for updates on Montgomery's status throughout the year, especially once fall rolls around and he's able to gradually work into a rehab pattern.

Jordan Montgomery (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. It was determined Tuesday that Montgomery will require reconstructive elbow surgery -- a surprise after he progressed to throwing off flat ground Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Montgomery will be forced to miss the remainder of the 2018 season, and likely most of 2019 while rehabbing from surgery. Fantasy owners who were stashing the 25-year-old lefty can move on.
