New York Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery (knee) tossed a bullpen session on Wednesday and is expected to make his start Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. He took a comebacker off his left knee during last Sunday's game, but X-rays returned negative. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the southpaw should be ready for his next start. The 29-year-old owns an 8.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 4:1 K: BB over four innings in 2022. Montgomery can be used as a streamer in Friday's favorable matchup against the Orioles in all league formats.

Montgomery took a comebacker off of his left knee during last Sunday's game but X-rays came back negative. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Montgomery is "doing all right" after the injury. The lefty has some swelling near his left knee but as of now, it appears that he will be out there for his next start, which is slated for Friday against the Baltimore Orioles.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (leg) was hit in his left leg by a comebacker off the bat of Xander Bogaerts in Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The incident happened in the first inning of the game. The left-hander appeared to be in a great deal of pain, rolling around on the ground after the play. He was observed by trainers and he wound up staying in the game, pitching a total of 3 1/3 innings while allowing four hits, one walk and three earned runs. Luckily, X-rays on Montgomery's leg after the game came back negative and manager Aaron Boone stated that all initial indications were "encouraging." As of now, Montgomery is slated to make his second start of the year on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles.

There weren't many expectations for Montgomery last season, as he came into the year expecting his first full workload since undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2018 season. While Montgomery's ERA last season was inflated at 5.11, there are still some encouraging things about his profile baked into the more advanced metrics. His FIP (3.87), xFIP (3.65), and SIERA (3.84) all suggest a different pitcher than what the ERA would lead you to believe. Notably, Montgomery's 24.4% strikeout rate easily trumped his 19.8% rate during his last extended run in 2018. Additionally, he also made improvements with his command. His walk rate was among the lowest in the league at 4.7%, primarily due to more fastballs ending up in the strike zone than in 2018 (53.5% vs. 48.4%). That being said, Montgomery still did have a home run issue last season, and that is something that may not go away with him pitching in the American League East. A high home run rate could cause him trouble, but the projections peg Montgomery with somewhere around a 4.20 ERA , which would definitely be valuable, especially at his current ADP in the neighborhood of pick 220. Playing time should not be an issue, as he should be pegged as the Yankees' number three starter. Overall, Montgomery needs to shore up the consistency, but he should be a nice late-round option at starting pitcher.
