The Yankees got some encouraging news on one of their pitchers.
Frankie Montas won’t start throwing until at least late May following his shoulder surgery, which leaves the door open for the starting pitcher to return in the second half of the 2023 season.
Manager Aaron Boone said that Montas’ labrum was cleaned up during a procedure and the 29-year-old’s rotator cuff didn’t need to be repaired. Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the procedure. Montas won’t throw for 12 weeks.
