New York Yankees pitcher Frankie Montas is still behind in his shoulder rehab and will miss the start of the 2023 season.
Per Dan Martin and Jon Heyman of The New York Post, Montas is “8-10 weeks behind in his offseason training” and should be back by May. On Friday, Montas and the Yankees avoided arbitration and agreed on a $7.5 million salary for 2023.
The Yankees acquired Montas and reliever Lou Trivino from the Oakland A’s at last year’s trade deadline. Oakland received top pitching prospects JP Sears and Ken Waldichuk in return, and we’ve already discussed the Yankees’ shocking and sudden lack of arms on the farm.
