2024 Fantasy Outlook
For the second straight season, Montgomery began the year pitching for a team with playoff aspirations but was traded at the deadline to a team a team still in contention. Of course, last season ended with Montgomery celebrating a World Series win with the Rangers. Montgomery began the season recording a 3.42 ERA and 1.25 WHIP for the Cardinals, fanning 108 in 121 frames. After joining Texas, Montgomery posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP punching out 58 in 67.2 innings. His 21.4 percent strikeout rate is below average, but the southpaw is frugal with free passes and does a good job keeping the ball in the yard. Montgomery is durable, with his 94 starts over the past three seasons tied for sixth most in MLB. A low strikeout rate hurts Montgomery's fantasy appeal, but it also keeps his cost of acquisition affordable. There is always risk a pitcher of this ilk experiences some misfortune, but he has displayed the ability to buffer ratios in a rotisserie league format. Read Past Outlooks

Earns win in return
Montgomery (7-5) earned the win Tuesday over the Royals, allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings.
ANALYSIS
Montgomery missed nearly a month with right knee inflammation, but he was able to skip a rehab assignment. The southpaw threw 67 pitches (39 strikes) Tuesday and may need to build up over his next couple of starts to get back to a regular workload. In terms of performance, this was one of his best outings of the season and something to build upon in the second half. He's at a 6.11 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB through 70.2 innings over 14 starts this season. Montgomery is lined up for a home start versus the Nationals his next time out.

The lefty almost turned himself into a meme with how good he was initially after being traded from the Yankees to the Cardinals in early August. Montgomery allowed just a single earned run in his first four starts for St. Louis, a run capped off by a one-hit shutout of the Cubs in Wrigley. Eventually, the Devil Magic wore off and Montgomery returned to his solid, if flappable, ways. He worked from behind in 2021 in the sense that he threw his offspeed pitches (changeup, curveball) as his two primary pitches but changed his pitch mix this past season to feature his sinker, in particular after the move to St. Louis. It's not like he was bad during his time with New York -- the team felt it needed a good defensive outfielder -- and the Cardinals may be onto something with this new version of Montgomery. That being said, the modest swing-and-miss would seem to cap his fantasy upside.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Moves on from Boras
According to Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com, Montgomery hired Joel Wolfe and Nick Chanock as his agents Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old lefty apparently wasn't happy with how things played out in free agency, so he decided to move on from Scott Boras after agreeing to a one-year, $25 million contract with the Diamondbacks in late March. The deal includes a vesting option for 2025 worth up to $25 million depending on how many starts he makes, but it's still a far cry from McDaniel's offseason projection of five years and $106 million for Montgomery.
