Will it go down as the Yankees’ worst trade?…”I’m not sure, but it won’t be a season out.”
[Portal Korea] Correspondent Yoon-Jun Ko = Frankie Montas, who moved to the New York Yankees in a trade from last season, has hardly been active. As the injury overlapped, he was put on the operating table and was in danger of missing most of the season.메이저놀이터
Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Montas’ shoulder surgery in an interview with the local media on the 16th (Korean time). Montas’ surgery is scheduled for the 22nd.
This isn’t the first time Montas has suffered a shoulder injury. He had an injury even when he was traded last year, and in September he received a checkup for more than a shoulder, and since then he has not been able to climb the mound.
The injury continued into the offseason, and his rehabilitation did not find an answer. In the end, he plans to determine the exact condition of the shoulder through arthroscopic surgery and treat it.
The Montas trade is currently failing. Since joining, he has been sluggish with 1 win, 3 losses, 6.35 ERA and 33 strikeouts, and he is unable to even climb the mound.
“I’m not sure, but the best case scenario is to come back at the end of the season,” Boone said. In fact, he will be able to come back within the season, but the conclusion will come after surgery.”
He continued, “Even at the time of the trade, I was already aware of his shoulder injury. This is natural for pitchers. Any pitcher gets back on the mound after suffering a shoulder injury,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Yankees recently reported an injury to Nestor Cortes. Fortunately, Cortés looks like he’ll be able to join Opening Day, building a starting lineup with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon and Luis Severino. Montas’ position is expected to be contested by Domingo Hermann and Clark Schmidt.
