TAMPA, Fla -- Frankie Montas won't start throwing until at least late May following right shoulder surgery, a timetable that could allow him to pitch for the New York Yankees in the season's second half.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday the labrum of the right-hander was cleaned up during the procedure a day earlier and Montas' rotator cuff did not need to be repaired. Montas won't throw for 12 weeks.
"Everything went according to plan," Boone said. "We're day one out of surgery, so we have a long way to go from there.
