Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery to Miss 2025 Season After Second Tommy John Surgery

The left-hander confirmed the procedure following spring training struggles and a history of elbow issues.

Jordan Montgomery announced he will undergo Tommy John surgery for the second time, sidelining him for the entire 2025 MLB season.
The decision follows a difficult spring training in which Montgomery posted a 15.00 ERA over three innings across two appearances.
Montgomery previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018 while with the New York Yankees, returning to MLB action in 2019.
The Arizona Diamondbacks signed Montgomery to a two-year, $47.5 million contract, which included a $22.5 million player option he exercised for 2025.
Team owner Ken Kendrick has publicly acknowledged the signing as a mistake after Montgomery's underwhelming 2024 season, marked by an ERA of 6.23.
