1 month agoArizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo confirmed on Monday that left-hander Jordan Montgomery (knee) will return from the 15-day injured list for the middle game of the series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday. Montgomery has been working his way back since experiencing right-knee soreness on June 29, and he landed on the IL with inflammation in his right patellar tendon. After signing with the Snakes late, Montgomery has not been good, compiling a 6-5 record with a 6.44 ERA over 65 2/3 innings. Not only are the Royals a bad first matchup back from the IL for the 31-year-old southpaw, but he also didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment. The former fourth-round pick of the New York Yankees out of South Carolina in 2014 has never been a big strikeout guy but currently has a career-low 15.1% K rate.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
