In a rather surprising move, the New York Yankees optioned Jordan Montgomery to the alternative training site. This is potentially temporary as he could see himself in the rotation soon or at least on the taxi squad.
He could be starting at the alternative training site in a move to give the Yankees more hitters or bullpen arms. When they are ready for him to pitch, they could option someone to make room for him in the rotation. But on the other hand, the team did keep Michael King on the roster, and he could wind up moving into the rotation instead of Montgomery.
