Jordan Montgomery's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery (knee) will throw on flat ground on Saturday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Montgomery still has some inflammation in his right knee, but Lovullo said the team is anticipating he'll be good enough to throw on Saturday. The 31-year-old southpaw could start throwing off a mound again soon if his throwing session goes well this weekend, but Montgomery won't rejoin Arizona's starting rotation until after the All-Star break in mid-July. After helping the Texas Rangers win their first-ever World Series championship last fall, Montgomery signed with Arizona late this spring and has been a disaster in his first 13 starts, posting a 6.44 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with 45 K's and 23 walks in 65 2/3 innings. He currently has a career-low 15.1% strikeout rate and has seen his walk rate increase from 4.9% in 2023 to 7.7%.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (knee) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 29. The 31-year-old needed some time off after a horrendous start to the season. Montgomery has posted a 6.44 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and 45/23 K/BB across 13 starts. The D-Backs haven't offered a timetable for Montgomery's return to the mound. In a corresponding move, right-hander Gavin Hollowell has been recalled from Triple-A Reno. He's expected to head to the bullpen, so the D-Backs will need to fill Montgomery's spot in the rotation soon.

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery wasn't long for his start on Thursday against the visiting Minnesota Twins, lasting just 2 2/3 innings and being pulled after giving up eight runs (four earned) on nine hits while walking one and striking out only one to drop to 6-5 in his first season in Arizona. The 31-year-old southpaw didn't get much help from his defense in this one and he was also a bit unfortunate with the Twins eeking out three infield singles. He gave up only two extra-base hits. The final line doesn't look great, and Montgomery came into this one with just five earned runs allowed in his previous three starts combined. The former fourth-round pick by the New York Yankees in 2014 out of South Carolina has struggled overall in 2024, though, and things won't get any easier with his next outing scheduled to come against the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers next week.
