Jordan Montgomery To Make Season Debut This Weekend

By Connor Byrne | September 13, 2019 at 10:20pm CDT

Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery hasn’t taken a major league mound since May 1, 2018, but he’s on the verge of making a long-awaited return. Montgomery is expected to make his season debut “in some capacity” this Sunday, James Wagner of the New York Times reports. Meanwhile, fellow lefty J.A. Happ just had a cortisone shot in his biceps, but manager Aaron Boone said he should make a start next week.

Considering he hasn’t pitched in the majors in almost two full seasons, Montgomery has become somewhat of a forgotten Yankee. But before Montgomery underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2018, he looked like a quality homegrown arm for New York. Montgomery, a fourth-round pick of the Yankees in 2014, debuted in 2017 and proceeded to amass 182 2/3 innings and 35 starts of 3.84 ERA/4.09 FIP ball with 8.23 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 through last season.

Now, with the playoffs just a couple weeks away, it’s unclear whether Montgomery will factor into the Yankees’ plans when they try to charge toward a World Series in October. On the other hand, a healthy Happ will definitely be someone the team counts on during the fall. Happ exited his start Thursday with a biceps issue, but it seems the Yankees – whom injuries have haunted all season – dodged a serious problem in his case.

      …Or a team fighting for the best record in baseball that has had a ridiculous amount of players on the IL this year is seeing how much one of the injured players can contribute in the postseason, but keep hatin’ cuz your team ain’t making the playoffs.

        Every team has players on the IL. It may seem like the yankees are the only team because yankee trade rumors spends the majority of it’s time on them.

          Because the Yankees have had a record setting amount of guys on the IL moron. Most teams in baseball wouldn’t be able to endure what the Yankees have and still win over 100 games.

          You Yankee haters are unbelievable.

      @melchez What kind of person gets pleasure out of being a troll? That is what you are. There are literally dozens of articles, entire articles, about a player who either just got injured or is coming back off of an injury, that are written here every week. Oh and Montgomery isn’t a AAAA player making his debut.

          @Melchez Read what I said “richard”. I was referring to you stating he was a AAAA player. That term usually refers to a guy who is either good in the minors but below average in the majors and usually ends up shuttling to and from AAA and the majors. Montgomery doesn’t deserve that tag as he won a starting spot in ST and began 2017 as a SP. It carried into 2018 as he had a good April before being shut down for TJ surgery. Being that the Yanks are trying to figure out their playoff run Montgomery could work himself into consideration for a playoff roster spot.

    The Yankees have a ton of depth but not much quality for starters. I love how they built a team organically but I don’t want them to win with a title relying only on bullpen studs. That is not a trend I want to see grow deeper roots.

      I understand that but the game is evolving for better or for worst. Openers, defensive shifts, hitter launch angles, etc. are things now. Soon a pitch clock for pitchers.

    I mean they probably will, but I feel like the 5+ ERA negates the “definitely”.

      A “glass half full” guy looks at his 3.46 ERA over his last 5 starts hopes that he’s worked out his kinks and can have a hot hand going into the playoffs.

    Gumby had a promising start to his career. If he can be the same guy he was in 2017 & 2018, this is basically a nice FA pickup.
