D-backs activate LHP Jordan Montgomery for Tuesday start
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery (52) throws to the Minnesota Twins in the first inning at Chase Field in Phoenix on Thursday, June 27, 2024. Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery was activated from the 15-day injured list and will start Tuesday night against the visiting the Kansas City Royals.
Montgomery, 31, progressed enough from right knee inflammation to skip a rehab assignment after three-plus weeks on the IL. He threw a three-inning, 56-pitch simulated game last Thursday.
In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks optioned right-hander Humberto Castellanos to Triple-A Reno. Castellanos, 26, has a 5.23 ERA in seven relief appearances this season for Arizona.
In his first season with Arizona, Montgomery is 6-5 in 13 starts with a 6.44 ERA over 65 2/3 innings.
Over eight seasons with the New York Yankees (2017-22), St. Louis Cardinals (2022-23), Texas Rangers (2023) and Diamondbacks, he is 44-39 in 154 games (153 starts) with a 3.90 ERA over 820 2/3 innings.
