Tue Sep 20 2022 | 16:22 | Frankie Montas Goes On Injured List |
The New York Yankees placed right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. Montas' MRI exam showed only inflammation in his right shoulder, but he will be shut down from throwing for a couple of days. The issue is similar to the first time it cropped up this year when he was with the Oakland Athletics, and it cost him over two weeks. The 29-year-old received a cortisone shot and is hoping to make one more start before the regular season ends. Fantasy managers shouldn't be holding out hope that that happens. Expect Domingo German to take Montas' spot in the starting rotation the rest of the way. Montas has struggled since being acquired from the A's, going 1-3 with a 6.35 ERA (4.93 FIP), a 1.54 WHIP, 33 K's and 15 walks in 39 2/3 innings over eight starts in pinstripes. |

Tue Sep 20 2022 | 11:01 | Frankie Montas' MRI Exam Brings Good News |
New York Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) received some positive news from his MRI results after it didn't show anything significant, according to sources. Montas could still get some extra rest due to the right shoulder soreness that caused him to get the MRI exam on Sunday following his latest poor outing against the Milwaukee Brewers. In eight starts since being acquired from the Oakland Athletics, Montas has a rough 6.35 ERA, and he allowed four runs in just 3 1/3 innings in his most recent outing against Milwaukee. He also sat out for over two weeks in July while with the A's due to shoulder inflammation, so the Yankees aren't rushing him back out there. Don't be surprised if the Yankees turn to Domingo German to take Montas' next turn in the rotation. |

Sun Sep 18 2022 | 13:24 | Frankie Montas Could Head To The Injured List |
New York Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) could be headed to the injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone. Montas received an MRI on his ailing shoulder, which has been bothering him since mid-July. He already spent time on the IL earlier this season with a shoulder issue and the team currently has the results of said MRI. The Yankees are going to have the results reviewed by a team doctor back in New York before they determine if they want to place Montas n the IL or not. The team will travel back to the Bronx after they wrap up their series against the Brewers in Milwaukee. Stay tuned. |

Fri Aug 19 2022 | 00:54 | Frankie Montas Surrenders Six Runs In Defeat |
New York Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas was touched up by the Blue Jays in his club's 9-2 loss on Thursday night. The righty gave up six earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out just two over his six frames of work. Most of the damage he allowed came in a five-run second inning that was capped by a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. three-run homer to the short porch in right field. He settled down after that by retiring the next seven batters he faced, but ran into trouble again in the fifth when the Jays tacked on another run. Montas hasn't been sharp since his move to the Bronx with an 8/6 K/BB with 14 earned runs in as many innings pitched, but he's still worth trotting out there in starting lineups for his next start versus the Mets next week. |

Sun Aug 7 2022 | 11:11 | Frankie Montas Activated For Yankees Debut Sunday |
The New York Yankees reinstated right-hander Frankie Montas from the bereavement list on Sunday in time for him to make his team debut against the St. Louis Cardinals. In a corresponding move, the team optioned rookie right-hander Ron Marinaccio to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It will be a tough first matchup for Montas in pinstripes, but he's been very solid for fantasy managers in 2022, going 4-9 with a 3.18 ERA (3.35 FIP), a 1.14 WHIP and a 109:28 K:BB in 104 2/3 innings over 19 starts for the Oakland Athletics. He'll be even more valuable in fantasy with a strong Yankees lineup backing him. Marinaccio has been excellent in relief for New York in his first 26 2/3 big-league innings, posting a 2.03 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 32 strikeouts. |

Wed Aug 3 2022 | 11:16 | Frankie Montas Goes On Bereavement List |
The New York Yankees placed new starting pitcher Frankie Montas on the bereavement list on Wednesday due to a death in his family. The Yankees acquired Montas from the Oakland Athletics on Monday, and he has yet to appear in a game in pinstripes. The 29-year-old right-hander was one of the biggest names on the trade market this year behind Luis Castillo, and he'll certainly make New York's rotation stronger down the stretch. Montas will be away from the team for a few days before rejoining them this weekend for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, it remains to be seen if he'll actually make his debut for the Yankees against the Cardinals. Stay tuned. |

Mon Aug 1 2022 | 16:43 | Yankees Acquire Frankie Montas, Lou Trivino From A's |
The New York Yankees acquired starting pitcher Frankie Montas and relief pitcher Lou Trivino from the Oakland Athletics on Monday. Per MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Yankees are sending left-hander Ken Waldichuk (their No. 5 prospect), right-hander Luis Medina (No. 10), left-hander JP Sears (No. 20) and second baseman Cooper Bowman (No. 21) to the A's. Montas became the Yankees' top trade target after the Seattle Mariners landed right-hander Luis Castillo from the Reds last weekend. The 29-year-old's fantasy stock will only rise with the move to the first-place Yankees. He is currently 4-9 with a 3.18 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 109 strikeouts and 28 walks in 104 2/3 innings over 19 starts. Trivino, who has a 6.47 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 10 saves for the A's in 32 innings, is unlikely to see many save chances in a bullpen that includes ... [ More] |

Sat Jul 30 2022 | 12:43 | Cardinals Pursuing Frankie Montas |
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas is one of the starters that the St. Louis Cardinals are pursuing with the trade deadline nearing. Starting pitching is a far greater need for the Cardinals because of injuries to Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz. The A's, according to sources, want some of the same prospects for Montas that the Washington Nationals want for outfielder Juan Soto. It would be out of character for the Cardinals to part with the number of players necessary to land Soto for two-plus years and Montas for one-plus year. When St. Louis trades for big-name hitters, it's usually in the offseason. One executive said Montas might have a higher ceiling and a higher floor than Luis Castillo, who was dealt to the Mariners on Friday night for three of their top-five prospects. |

Sat Jul 30 2022 | 11:26 | Frankie Montas Now Yankees' Top Target |
With right-hander Luis Castillo being traded to the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, Oakland Athletics right-hander Frankie Montas is now the New York Yankees' top starting pitcher target before Tuesday's trade deadline. The Yankees are in on other starters as well, including Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Jose Quintana. New York definitely needs to bolster their starting rotation, and Montas would do just that. Pitching for the last-place A's, he's gone 4-9 with a strong 3.18 ERA (3.36 FIP), a 1.14 WHIP, 109 strikeouts and 28 walks in 104 2/3 innings over 19 starts. While a move to the American League East would have its challenges, Montas would also be backed by a much better offense in the Bronx. |

Wed Jul 13 2022 | 19:44 | Frankie Montas Won't Start This Weekend |
Updating a previous report, Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) will not pitch this weekend, according to sources. Montas told the team he wants to throw twice more in side sessions and then rejoin the rotation the first day out of the All-Star break on Friday, July 21, against the Detroit Tigers. It was reported earlier on Wednesday that the 29-year-old right-hander would return this weekend against the Houston Astros, but those plans have been changed. He hasn't pitched since July 3, and the A's will be extra careful with an arm that is expected to be in high demand as this summer's trade deadline approaches, assuming that Montas can bounce back to full health after the All-Star break. He's 3-9 with a 3.26 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 100 K's in 96 2/3 innings over 17 starts in 2022. |

The Oakland Athletics are hopeful that starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) will be able to rejoin the starting rotation during this coming weekend's series against the Houston Astros. Montas played long toss on Monday and he could wind up throwing a bullpen session Wednesday if he responds well to Monday's session. Montas is dealing with right shoulder inflammation. The issue arose after his start against the Seattle Mariners on July 3. He received a cortisone injection last week and seems to be trending in the right direction. The 29-year-old has been fantastic this year, pitching to a 3.26 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP across 17 starts. |
