Montas, a 29-year-old right-hand pitcher, will undergo surgery on his right shoulder. His return date is unknown. There’s a favorable scenario in which he’s ready in the second half of the season, depending on his rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Obviously, losing Frankie is clearly a blow,”<\/strong> said manager Aaron Boone. “But we also feel very confident in those that are going to now maybe get an opportunity because he’s not there initially.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Yankees acquired Montas from the Oakland A’s shortly before last season’s trade deadline. He started eight games with the Yankees and logged 39.2 innings. He went 3-1 with a 6.35 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.<\/p>\n

Over his career, Montas appeared in 129 games with 99 starts. He has an overall record of 36-35 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.<\/p>\n
