Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery will make his season debut on Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Montgomery signed a one-year, $25 million contract late into the offseason with the Diamondbacks. In his final tune-up with Triple-A Reno, Montgomery was torched for seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out six over 3 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old will join Arizona's rotation next week and likely replace Tommy Henry or Ryne Nelson. Montgomery was solid for the Rangers/Cardinals in 2023, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 166:48 K: BB across 188 2/3 innings.
Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery threw three innings and 50 pitches in a simulated game at Salt River Fields. Montgomery is scheduled to make a Triple-A start for Reno on Sunday and is aiming to make his D-backs debut on April 16 after making four Triple-A starts. It was a career year for the 6-foot-6 hurler in 2023 as he tossed a 3.20 ERA in 32 starts between the Cardinals and Rangers, including a 2.79 ERA across 11 starts with the Rangers following a trade-deadline swap with St. Louis. He also tossed a 2.90 ERA in six outings (five starts) in the postseason en route to a World Series title. He has been the model of consistency and is an upper-tier fantasy starter for the 2024 campaign.
Left-hander Jordan Montgomery said he is targeting April 19 versus the San Francisco Giants for his first start with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The D-backs officially agreed to terms with Montgomery on a one-year deal on Friday that includes a player option. He has been optioned to Triple-A Reno and will build up his arm before hopefully debuting in late April. It's no surprise that the 31-year-old southpaw isn't ready for the start of the regular season after missing all of spring training. He could get off to a slow start with his new team as well, but Montgomery should already be rostered in all fantasy leagues after helping lead the Texas Rangers to their first World Series championship last fall. He's had a below-average strikeout rate in his career, but he limits walks and has been durable for fantasy managers.

Free-agent left-hander Jordan Montgomery has simply been among the most consistent, durable pitchers in baseball over the last three seasons. After making 32 starts and pitching a career-high 188 2/3 innings in 2023, the 31-year-old is tied for sixth in starts over the last three seasons with 94 while pitching to a rock-solid 3.48 ERA in that time. He's also walked just 6.2% of the batters he has faced in that stretch. He reached double-digit wins (10) for the first time in 2023, including a 4-2 record alongside a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts with Texas after going just 6-9 despite a 3.42 ERA in 21 starts with the Cardinals. He won't deliver much in the strikeout department with a career 22.5% K%, including a 21.4% mark last season, but his 15.9% K-BB% remains solid and he could rack up plenty of wins if he signs with a contender. Nonetheless, he's a safe play wherever he plays in 2024 at a 145.50 ADP, even if his ceiling has already been met.
