Overview

  • New York put Montas on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 22 after imaging detected right elbow UCL damage.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza called the injury "pretty significant" and said Montas will not pitch again this year.
  • Huascar Brazobán was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding roster move.
  • Montas logged 38.2 innings with a 6.28 ERA and was shifted to the bullpen after losing his rotation spot to rookie Nolan McLean.
  • A high-grade lat strain in spring training delayed his debut until late June, and potential surgery could imperil his 2026 availability under his two-year, $34 million deal.
