2023 Fantasy Outlook
Montas seemed likely to be traded by Oakland during spring training, but the team instead held onto him until the trade deadline. The right-hander pitched well the A's with a 3.18 ERA and 109:28 K:BB across 104.2 innings before being shipped to the Yankees, but he was unable to continue that success after the trade. His strikeout rate cratered eight percentage points to 17.8 percent with New York while opposing hitters batted .279 against him. He was relegated to the bullpen during the playoffs and made only one appearance. Montas has illustrated he has the stuff of a front-line starter but has been unable to consistently provide that production year-to-year, and he's now entering his final season of arbitration eligibility in dire need of a bounceback.

Begins throwing program
Montas (shoulder) began a throwing program Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Montas had been shut down for 14 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder back in late February. The right-hander has professed a desire to return this season and has a shot to do so, although it likely wouldn't be before September and it's not clear what kind of role he might be able to fill. Montas is slated to hit free agency after the season.

There were plenty of question marks surrounding Montas entering last season. After serving an 80-game suspension for using PEDs in 2019, the right-hander stumbled to a 5.60 ERA across 53 innings pitched during the abbreviated 2020 campaign. His struggles leaked into the first month of 2021, as he allowed 14 earned runs on 24 hits across his first 18.2 innings (four starts). Following the shaky opening to the season, Montas was beyond reliable the remainder of the way, allowing more than three earned runs in just three of his final 28 starts while logging a career-high 187 innings. Perhaps the biggest reason for Montas' bounceback year was the resurgence of his splitter. Hitters whiffed at the offering more than a quarter of the time while slashing a mere .126 against the pitch. Also mixing in a four-seamer, sinker and slider, Montas finished fourth in the AL with 207 strikeouts while posting a tidy 3.37 ERA. Heading into his age 29 season, he figures to be a middle-to-top of the rotation arm with the potential to put up ace-like numbers in 2022.
