Overview

• Montgomery made his home debut on July 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays at Guaranteed Rate Field, following his first big league appearance in Denver.
• He opened his MLB career by going 5-for-10 with a triple and two walks in a series win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
• After batting just .149 in his first 23 Triple-A games, he worked one-on-one with hitting coach Ryan Fuller in Arizona and returned to hit .270 with a home run every 15.3 at-bats.
• His arrival prompted the White Sox to shift Chase Meidroth to second base, underscoring the organization’s commitment to making Montgomery its primary shortstop.
• Chicago retains Montgomery under team control through 2031 and has the payroll flexibility to extend him long-term as it builds around controllable young talent.
