Overview

  • Frankie Montas has a 13.17 ERA across 13.2 innings in five rehab outings, including eight runs allowed in 1.2 innings on June 13.
  • Manager Carlos Mendoza said Montas will make one more Triple-A start before the team decides between a rotation spot or a relief role.
  • Montas reports feeling physically healthy; the team is treating his rehab like spring training outings focused on mechanics instead of results.
  • With Kodai Senga sidelined by a right hamstring strain, Paul Blackburn has temporarily filled the vacated rotation slot.
  • Sean Manaea is set for a third rehab start with High-A Brooklyn; Mark Vientos is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse this week.
