Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Montas collected a 6.35 ERA in eight regular-season starts for the Yankees in 2022 after being acquired from the Athletics via trade before going down with a shoulder injury. The right-hander did make it back for one playoff appearance but wound up needing surgery on the shoulder in February. It was expected to be a season-ending operation, but Montas worked his way back for one late-season relief appearance, providing some hope that he's past the shoulder problems. At his best, Montas is a hard thrower capable of piling up strikeouts with his nasty splitter. His velocity was solid but down a bit in his one 2023 appearance, and it's fair to wonder whether he'll ever regain his pre-op stuff. Montas' workload figures to be limited even if he stays healthy given that he's basically coming off a lost season. He currently remains a free agent. Read Past Outlooks
Lasts five innings Friday
Montas gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Montas gave up a leadoff blast to Mookie Betts in the first inning and a two-run home run to Shohei Ohtani in the third. The Reds were able to erase that damage after Montas exited, but the Dodgers rallied in the late innings. Given the opponent, this was an acceptable start from the right-hander. He's still at a pedestrian 4.37 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 25:15 K:BB through 35 innings over eight starts this season. Montas' next start is projected to come at home versus the Padres, when he'll look for his first win since April 3.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to Yankees
The Yankees are "mulling Montas as a potential piece for their rotation," Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman of the New York Post report.
ANALYSIS
Montas wound up making just nine appearances for the Yankees after being acquired at the 2022 trade deadline, with one of those coming in 2023 as he made a late-season return from shoulder surgery. The right-hander has professed a desire to remain with the Yanks, and perhaps a one-year deal that gives him a chance to re-establish his value could make some sense for both sides.

Montas seemed likely to be traded by Oakland during spring training, but the team instead held onto him until the trade deadline. The right-hander pitched well the A's with a 3.18 ERA and 109:28 K:BB across 104.2 innings before being shipped to the Yankees, but he was unable to continue that success after the trade. His strikeout rate cratered eight percentage points to 17.8 percent with New York while opposing hitters batted .279 against him. He was relegated to the bullpen during the playoffs and made only one appearance. Montas has illustrated he has the stuff of a front-line starter but has been unable to consistently provide that production year-to-year, and he's now entering his final season of arbitration eligibility in dire need of a bounceback.
