Yankees' Frankie Montas Suffers Shoulder Injury, Sidelined for 14 Weeks
Brutal Blow for Yankees Rotation
Delayed Debut and Uncertain Return Timeline
The New York Yankees have received a significant setback with the news that starting pitcher Frankie Montas has been shut down for 14 weeks due to a shoulder injury.
According to Talkin Yanks and GJoyce9, Montas underwent arthroscopic surgery and will begin a throwing program on Tuesday. The 14-week recovery timeline means Montas will not be able to start throwing until late May at the earliest.
Manager Aaron Boone confirmed the news, stating that the injury is a "brutal blow" for the Yankees' pitching rotation. Montas was expected to be a key part of the team's starting five this season.
The best-case scenario for Montas is a late-season return, but the Yankees will need to adjust their rotation plans accordingly. The injury has raised concerns about Montas' long-term health and his availability for the upcoming campaign.
