Frankie Montas Undergoes Shoulder Surgery Wednesday
2 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) underwent surgery to clean up his right labrum on Wednesday. The good news is that doctors didn't have to touch his rotator cuff, so Montas is expected to begin a throwing program in 12 weeks. The 29-year-old right-hander and the Yankees are hoping that he will be cleared to resume throwing in late May or early June, but there's a good chance that he'll miss all of the first half of the 2023 season. Montas will eventually be placed on the 60-day injured list to kick off the campaign. The Dominican hurler's fantasy value obviously takes a massive hit due to the injury, especially coming off a rough eight-start stretch in the Bronx in 2022 in which he had a 6.35 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 39 2/3 innings.
