Frankie Montas News
The Cincinnati Reds placed right-hander Frankie Montas (forearm) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a right-forearm contusion and recalled right-hander Casey Legumina from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Montas heads to the IL after getting hit in the right forearm by a comebacker in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 31-year-old has a good chance of coming back in two weeks when he's eligible after avoiding a fracture to his arm. With Montas out of action for a few weeks, swingman Nick Martinez will become more attractive in fantasy leagues with a move to the starting rotation. In what Montas' managers are hoping is a bounce-back year, he's so far been inconsistent with a 4.19 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 14 K's in 19 1/3 innings over five starts.
Cincinnati Reds right-hander Frankie Montas (forearm) left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels early with a right-forearm bruise. X-rays on his arm showed no fracture after he was hit in the arm by a comebacker. It's good news that the 31-year-old doesn't have any kind of break in his arm, but Montas said that he's likely to miss his next start due to soreness and swelling. He recorded just two outs in Sunday's game before being hit in the arm, so he also may not be able to go very deep in his next start after taking at least one turn through the rotation off. The injured list is still a possibility if Montas isn't feeling great after missing one start. Montas has been up and down through his first five starts with the Reds in 2024, going 2-2 with a 4.19 ERA (5.33 FIP) and 1.45 WHIP with 10 walks and 14 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Frankie Montas (undisclosed) left Sunday's game early after being hit by a comebacker off outfielder Taylor Ward. The ball struck Montas in his pitching arm, which was why he had to leave the game. Brent Suter replaced Montas as a result. There have not been any updates on the extent of the injury, so fantasy managers will have to keep a close eye on his status before his next scheduled start. Montas was off to a great start with his new team, as he did not allow an earned run until his third start. Since then, Montas has allowed nine earned runs. Brent Suter is an option to replace Montas in the rotation if he were to have an extended absence.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Frankie Montas had a career year in 2021, posting a 13-9 record, a 3.37 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 207:57 K: BB over 187 innings. He also held an impressive 10.0 K/9, 14.1 swinging strike percentage, and his fastball averaged 96.4 MPH. Montas finished the season strong by being named the AL Pitcher of the Month in September. The 28-year-old has an elite splitter, which he used 33.6% of the time that helped improve his ERA from 4.72 (April-June) to 2.65 (July-August). His splitter had a whiff rate of 51.4% and put away 26.4% of hitters. Montas is expected to be drafted as a top-25 starter in upcoming 2022 fantasy baseball drafts. The A's right-hander will be second in Oakland's rotation after Chris Bassitt and look to build on his 2021 stellar performance. Steamer projections have Montas 179 innings pitched, 25.4K%, 7.4 BB%, 43.5 GB%, 3.71 ERA, and a 3.75 FIP. According to Rotoballer's Expected Draft Values, the A's ace is roughly fair value at his current NFBC ADP of 78.
