Jordan Montgomery News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery delivered a solid effort despite the no-decision Sunday against the Red Sox. Montgomery pitched five innings, allowing one run on seven hits with zero walks issued. The lefty struck out four batters while generating nine whiffs. Montgomery has been brilliant over his last three starts, as he has allowed just three runs while posting a 22:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He'll be a solid streaming option in his final scheduled start against the Rays. Montgomery owns a 3-1 record and a 3.18 ERA in 28 1/3 innings against Tampa Bay this year.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery earned his sixth victory of the season Tuesday against the Rangers. Montgomery pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits while issuing one walk. He struck out six batters, generating 11 swinging strikes, six of them coming on his changeup. While the starts came against lesser opponents in Baltimore and Texas, Montgomery has been outstanding in those outings, allowing two runs in that span while striking out 18 batters with just two walks. He could be a solid streamer for those in need of a back-end starter in the fantasy playoffs, despite the tough matchup against the Blue Jays.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery dominated the Orioles in a no-decision Thursday. Montgomery went 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on six hits while issuing one walk. The left-hander struck out a career-high 12 batters. Montgomery generated a very impressive 22 whiffs, 18 of them on his curveball-changeup combo. The 28-year-old continues to have rotten luck in the win department, as this was his second performance of the year where he allowed one run or fewer over at least five innings of work with 11 or more punchouts- and he doesn't have a win to show for either outing. Montgomery will have a great chance to keep rolling in his next outing against the Rangers, who own baseball's lowest team OPS.

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.
