ATLANTA — With the Chicago Cubs’ rotation nearly restored to its original condition, Mike Montgomery could be making his final start on Wednesday.
The left-hander may be the odd man out when Kyle Hendricks returns from the disabled list. Montgomery (1-6, 4.01 RA) could find himself a victim of numbers, especially since the Cubs traded for starter Jose Quintana last week.
Montgomery will oppose Atlanta’s R.A. Dickey (6-5, 4.08) in the finale of the three-game series. The Cubs won the first two games, including a 5-1 victory on Tuesday night, and they are riding a season-best, five-game winning streak.
