Jordan Montgomery Won't Start This Weekend
1 year agoSt. Louis Cardinals left-hander Jordan Montgomery (hamstring) will not start in the first series of the second half of the season this weekend against the Washington Nationals after leaving his start last Friday against the Chicago White Sox with a right-hamstring injury. Instead, right-hander Miles Mikolas will go on Friday, left-hander Steven Matz will start on Saturday and right-hander Jack Flaherty will toe the rubber on Sunday. Montgomery is a prime trade candidate this month because of the fact that he'll be a free agent after this season, but the 30-year-old southpaw will need to get back on the mound before interested teams feel comfortable trading for him. Montgomery was solid in the first half with a 3.23 ERA (3.52 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, 27 walks and 96 K's in 18 starts (103 innings).
