Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings pitched against the Astros to earn his eighth win of the season. Montas threw 71 of his 95 pitches for strikes as he was in control right from the start. He collected all 10 of his strikeouts by the end of the fourth inning and managed to keep the scorching-hot Houston offense off the scoreboard until the seventh inning when he was lifted after allowing back-to-back two-out hits. Montas hasn't been great this season as evidenced by his 4.41 ERA, but he does have big strikeout potential as he's got 105 K's in 99 innings this season. He's a strong fantasy option versus a weak-hitting Indians lineup in a home start after the All-Star break.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller

New York Mets right-hander Frankie Montas (lat) threw his fourth bullpen session on Friday, and his goal is to face live hitters by the end of next week, according to NorthJersey.com's Andrew Tredinnick. Montas was shut down from throwing for almost two months after he was diagnosed with a high-grade right-lat strain in mid-February at the start of spring training. The 32-year-old veteran restarted a throwing program in mid-April, though, and is slowly making progress towards his 2025 season debut with the Mets. The Dominican hurler is ahead of lefty Sean Manaea, who is ramping up from an oblique injury. Montas is currently on the 60-day injured list and isn't expected to rejoin New York's starting rotation until early June, barring a setback. He made just one appearance in 2023 due to injury and was up and down while allowing a ton of hard contact with Milwaukee and Cincy a season ago.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Mets right-hander Frankie Montas (lat) threw his third bullpen session on Tuesday but still needs a full spring training-style buildup before he's cleared to rejoin the Mets' starting rotation. Montas suffered a high-grade lat strain in mid-February before the start of spring training and went six to eight weeks without throwing at all. There's a chance we could see the 32-year-old veteran later this month, but it's more likely that he won't make his debut with New York until sometime in June after a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment. The Mets shifted Montas to the 60-day injured list last week. Montas made just one appearance in 2023 due to injury and was very inconsistent with the Reds and Brewers last year, posting a 4.84 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 148:66 K:BB in 150 2/3 innings. Fantasy managers just have to hope the Mets can turn him around like they have so far with Griffin Canning.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The New York Mets transferred right-hander Frankie Montas (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. It's merely a procedural move and won't affect Montas' timetable for return. He is not eligible to come off the IL until June. The 32-year-old veteran has been out all season to this point after suffering a high-grade right-lat strain early in spring training. When Montas is eventually ready after embarking on a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment, he should have a starting-rotation spot waiting for him in New York after signing a two-year, $34 million deal last December. The Dominican hurler only threw 1 1/3 innings in 2023 due to injury and was very mediocre with a 4.84 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in his 30 starts with the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers last year, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations when he returns.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Mets right-hander Frankie Montas (lat) has resumed throwing and has played catch from 60 feet, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Montas has finally started a throwing program since he suffered a high-grade right-lat strain at the start of spring training in the middle of February. Because of the long layoff and the fact that he has to completely build up his arm, the 32-year-old veteran hurler should be expected to miss at least the first month of the season, and possibly more. He was better after being traded to the Brewers last year, but Montas was still very inconsistent overall in 2024 and finished with a 4.84 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 148 strikeouts and 66 walks in 150 2/3 innings over 30 starts with Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Especially since he hasn't shown a ton of strikeout upside in his career, Montas should be on the waiver wire in 12-team mixed fantasy leagues for the time being.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
