Montgomery (elbow) will be shut down from all throwing activities for 2-to-3 weeks with an initial timetable of 6-to-8 weeks before he returns to the big-league club, Sweeny Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.

After shockingly exiting Tuesday night's game following just seven pitches through an easy inning of work, Jordan Montgomery was diagnosed with an elbow strain. Today, after visiting with New York Yankees physician Christopher Ahmad, the 25-year-old has been diagnosed with 6-8 weeks of time missed, a huge blow to the club. The Yankees rotation now takes a major hit, with Domingo German being the immediate fix. As a result of Montgomery's DL stint, the club signed David Hale to a major league contract, bringing him up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The New York Yankees announced Wednesday that pitcher Jordan Montgomery has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strain in his left elbow (throwing arm). Montgomery left his start on Tuesday night after throwing just seven pitches. The New York Daily News reports that Montgomery appears to have avoided the possibility of needing Tommy John surgery for now, and right hander Domingo German should fill in for Montgomery while he is out.

After just seven pitches, New York Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros with left elbow tightness. The 25-year-old showed no signs of trouble in his lone inning of work, pitching effectively to retire the side. In the top of the second, however, Domingo German began warming up in New York's bullpen with the clear intent of entering the game in the bottom of the frame. The left-hander will return to New York to be examined by team physician Christopher Ahmad. More updates will follow as further reports emerge on Montgomery's status.

Despite Monday's snowstorm and subsequent cancellation of the New York Yankees home opener, the club still plans to throw starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday when the game is played. The 25-year-old could've been skipped, but the club will not opt to do so, reinforcing their faith in Montgomery. The left-hander, heading into his second professional season, went 9-7 last year with a 3.88 ERA as a rookie after unexpectedly winning the fifth starting spot. This spring he made five starts, going 2-2 with a 3.43 ERA. Last year, his first start was also against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he gave up just two earned runs while striking out seven batters across 4 2/3 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Montgomery would start the team's home opener Tuesday against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The fifth starter for the New York Yankees, Jordan Montgomery, will take the mound on Monday afternoon when the club celebrates their home opener. The 25-year-old is coming off a promising rookie campaign that saw him enjoy some periods of success alongside some struggles. This spring, he made six starts, going 2-2 with a 3.43 ERA, while striking out 20 batters in 21 innings. With the first four spots in the rotation set, Montgomery's fifth spot was the only one in question, but he was declared the winner early on in spring. Veteran CC Sabathia has been mentoring the left-hander, which could only bring further positives.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone officially tabbed starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery as the fifth starting pitcher for the club on Friday. The 25-year-old won the job last season, making 29 starts and posting a 9-7 record with a 3.88 ERA. In June and September he was particularly strong, going 4-0 with a 2.59 ERA and 2-0 record with a 2.70 ERA in those months, respectively. This spring, Montgomery has tossed 8 2/3 innings in three outings, posting a 1.04 ERA and striking out 11. He was seen as the clearest candidate for the job, simply having to show up in shape, not get injured and not pitch atrociously to win the job once again. Montgomery could become a strong fantasy sleeper if he builds on his positive rookie season with a club considered one of the best in the American League.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery is taking nothing for granted in a fight for a rotation spot with the Bombers, according to Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. With the Yankees looking at Gerrit Cole before he went to Houston and monitoring free agents like Jake Arrieta, Alex Cobb and Lance Lynn, Montgomery knows that his role is not safe. "I always try and work as hard as I can and treat it like nothing's guaranteed,'' Montgomery said on Monday, the day before Yankees pitchers and catchers officially report to camp. "I feel like when you slack off and you think you've got it made, that's when the carpet's going to get pull out from underneath you." Last season, the left-handed Montgomery went 9-7 with a 3.88 ERA and led all AL rookies in starts (29), strikeouts (144) and innings pitched (155 1/3). He is a good stash in the late rounds, as the 25-year-old will continue to rake up strikeouts and has solid win potential by playing for the powerful Yankees.

After tonight's Yankees and Indians game was rained out, the game was rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader. As a result, the club will once again promote Jordan Montgomery from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start the second game of the doubleheader, scheduled to start roughly half an hour after the first game concludes. Montgomery was a member of the rotation for the majority of this season before the arrivals of Jaime Garcia and Sonny Gray made him the odd man out. The 24-year-old made 23 starts for the Yankees, going 7-6 with a 4.00 ERA. His best month of the season was June, when he went 4-0 with a 2.59 ERA in five starts. Look for him to remain with the major league club with the September call-ups coming in a matter of days.

Thrown back into the starting rotation as a result of CC Sabathia's injury, rookie Jordan Montgomery faced off with Cy Young favorite Chris Sale last night and held his own. The 24-year-old tossed his second consecutive strong start against a playoff-caliber opponent, going 5 1/3 innings against the Boston Red Sox and allowing one run on two hits, walking three and striking out four. At just 84 pitches on the night, he was removed from the game, with David Robertson taking over. Montgomery's removal was likely due to manager Joe Girardi's confidence in his bullpen, but also the rookie's innings, which will become an issue down the stretch.

It is almost certain that Jordan Montgomery will return to the major leagues before this season ends. When he returns, however, could be decided very soon, as CC Sabathia's injury could open up a spot in the New York Yankees' rotation. The club is worried about Montgomery's innings thrown this season, with an announcement that they'd shorten his outings in an attempt to cap him off at around 180 innings for the season. If Sabathia hits the disabled list, that may still be the plan, but it certainly makes things more difficult. At this point, expect the Yankees to indeed promote Montgomery if Sabathia lands on the DL, but how long he remains in the rotation as he approaches his limit is unknown.

Montgomery may be called back up to the majors sooner than expected if CC Sabathia (knee) requires a DL stint, George A. King of the New York Post reports.

After a strong start against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night, Jordan Montgomery's time in the New York Yankees rotation appears all but over. The 24-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after yesterday's victory over the Indians. Montgomery struck out seven and allowed just one run in five innings of work, throwing just 65 pitches in the process. The rookie's place in the starting rotation was endangered once Jaime Garcia and Sonny Gray were acquired, with his only chances of remaining in the mix being if the Yankees went with six men. That was never in Joe Girardi's plans, until Luis Severino tossed 116 pitches his last time out. Montgomery had one more chance to impress as the Yankees preferred to give Severino an extra day off. Barring any injuries, that appears to be his final start of the season, wrapping up a rookie year that saw him go 7-6 with a 4.05 ERA in 21 starts.

New York Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery was demoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, as the team looks to keep Montgomery as a starting pitcher. When Sonny Gray and Jaime Garcia were acquired by the Yankees, the writing was on the wall that Montgomery would be the odd man out in the rotation, mainly because manager Joe Girardi did not want to keep a six-man rotation. Montgomery has a 4.05 ERA and 1.24 WHIP this season, striking out 111 batters in 115 2/3 innings, and allowed one run on three hits in five innings against the Indians on Saturday, striking out seven batters without a walk. He would be the top option to join the rotation if there is an injury or if a pitcher needs extra time, but can be dropped in all formats.

Montgomery was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Montgomery is expected to be dropped from the rotation during the upcoming week with Yankees manager Joe Girardi likely to deploy a five-man starting staff, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
