Frankie Montas To Undergo MRI On Shoulder Monday
2 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) was removed from his start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday after pitching just one inning. It was revealed after the game that he was dealing with tightness in the back of his right shoulder. He was evaluated by team doctors, who diagnosed him with some inflammation. He is now set to undergo an MRI on Monday to help determine the severity of the shoulder injury. To make fantasy managers even more uneasy about this development, Montas showed a concerning velocity drop during his outing on Sunday. He was topping out at just 94.5 mph on his fastball, a pitch that typically tops out at 99.1 mph. It sounds as if a stint on the injured list is likely, but it's unclear what exactly we are looking at right now so make sure to keep a close eye on the situation in the coming days.
