Yankees traded Jordan Montgomery in 2022 to boost playoff push, now only one is in the postseason “They might have given up on me, but I think it was the best thing for me."
Named Game 1 starter Montgomery will start for the Rangers in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series versus the Rays on Tuesday.
Impact Montgomery has been the Rangers' best starter by a large margin since the trade deadline and with Max Scherzer (shoulder) injured and Nathan Eovaldi struggling he was a shoo-in to be tapped for the Game 1 start. The left-hander will be opposed by the Rays' Tyler Glasnow.

Solid in no-decision Montgomery allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Thursday.
Impact Montgomery's lone mistake was a solo home run to Julio Rodriguez in the fourth inning. While he had a chance at the win, the Rangers' bullpen denied Montgomery the victory when the Mariners produced a walk-off in the ninth inning. The southpaw has pitched to a 2.79 ERA over 67.2 innings with the Rangers, and he's at a 3.20 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 166:48 K:BB through 188.2 innings over 32 starts this year when accounting for his time with the Cardinals. It's safe to assume he'll be part of the Rangers' postseason rotation if they can secure a playoff spot.

Tosses seven scoreless frames Montgomery (10-11) earned the win over Seattle on Saturday, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out six batters over seven scoreless innings.
Impact Montgomery silenced Seattle's bats throughout the contest, as the Mariners didn't manage to collect multiple hits in any inning. The southpaw continued a dominant three-start stretch during which he has allowed just one run while posting a 17:3 K:BB over 21 frames, turning things around impressively after yielding 11 earned runs over 9.1 innings during his first two outings in September. Montgomery will likely make one more regular-season start, which tentatively lines up to take place in Seattle on Thursday.

Impact It was another excellent outing from Montgomery, who's now gone seven innings in his last two starts, allowing just one run in that span, after surrendering 11 runs in his previous two outings. The southpaw is 9-11 on the season with a 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 155:44 K:BB across 30 starts (175.2 innings) between the Rangers and Cardinals. Montgomery will look to keep his hot streak rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend against Seattle.

Struggles against Twins Montgomery pitched 3.2 innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks. He did not strike out any batters.
Impact Montgomery was spotted a 4-0 lead after two frames, but he couldn't take advantage. He gave up a solo home run in the third inning, then allowed six straight batters to reach base with two outs in the fourth. Five of those came around to score, and Montgomery was given the hook before finishing the frame. This was easily his worst start as a Ranger -- he had gone at least 5.1 frames in each appearance and posted a 2.13 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over four outings with Texas prior to Saturday. Montgomery will look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively slated to take place at home against Oakland next weekend.

Decent in no-decision Montgomery allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.
Impact This was the first time in eight starts since the All-Star break that Montgomery has failed to complete six innings. He left Sunday's contest with one out and the bases loaded in the sixth inning, and Chris Stratton promptly gave up a grand slam to begin his relief appearance. Despite the mediocre outing, Montgomery still has a 2.30 ERA over five starts (31.1 innings) for the Rangers. Overall, he's posted a 3.19 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 138:40 K:BB through 152.1 innings between Texas and St. Louis this year. He's lined up for a rematch at home versus the Twins next weekend.

Dominant effort goes to waste Montgomery pitched eight scoreless innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Monday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six batters.
Impact Montgomery was excellent in the outing, racking up 16 swinging strikes and holding the Diamondbacks without an extra-base hit. He got very little run support but still looked to be in line for the win upon his departure, as Texas held a 1-0 lead heading into the ninth. The Rangers' bullpen couldn't hold on, however, saddling Montgomery with a no-decision. Nonetheless, the southpaw picked up his fifth straight quality start, the last four of which have come since he joined Texas at the trade deadline. Since becoming a Ranger, Montgomery has posted a 1.73 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB over 26 frames.

Dominates Halos Montgomery (2-1) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits over six innings in a 7-3 win over the Angels. He struck out nine.
Impact Montgomery delivered a fourth consecutive quality start Tuesday, allowing one run across six innings while tying his season high in strikeouts. The performance also snapped Montgomery's streak of four straight starts allowing a home run. In three starts since being acquired by the Rangers, Montgomery boasts a 2.50 ERA to go along with a 20:2 K:BB over 18 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to toe the rubber again during a two-game series at Arizona early next week.

Pitches well in loss Montgomery (7-10) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out five.
Impact Montgomery did a good job of pitching his way out of jams for most of the afternoon, with the first run coming off a sacrifice fly from Jonah Bride. The lefty then allowed a leadoff homer to Zack Gelof to open the sixth but was able to get through the inning without allowing any further damage. Montgomery has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though he's just 1-2 over that stretch. He's also given up at least six hits in four of his last five outings and at least one long ball four straight.

Collects win in Texas debut Montgomery (7-9) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over six-plus innings in a 6-2 victory over the Marlins. He struck out six.
Impact The veteran southpaw gave up single runs in the first and second innings in his debut for the Rangers, but Montgomery settled in after that and cruised to his eighth quality start in his last 10 trips to the mound. He holds a 2.51 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 54:18 K:BB through 61 innings over that stretch, and with a potent Texas offense at his back, he could be headed for double-digit wins for the first time in his career. Montgomery lines up for a very juicy matchup in his next start, which is likely to come next week in Oakland.

Debuting for new team Friday Montgomery is slated to make his Rangers debut Friday versus the Marlins at Globe Life Field, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Texas will be breaking in its two new additions to the rotation on consecutive days, as Max Scherzer will take the hill Thursday versus the White Sox before Montgomery toes the rubber for the series opener against Miami. Montgomery had been the de facto staff ace of a poor Cardinals rotation this season, posting a 3.42 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 108 batters over 121 innings. He'll profile as more of a mid-rotation arm for Texas, but his fantasy outlook could improve following the move from St. Louis while he's supported by a stronger Rangers lineup.
