When the Yankees acquired Frankie Montas at the trade deadline last season, they believed the right-hander was healthy despite being a few weeks removed from the injured list.
Montas made eight starts with the Yankees last season before going back on the IL with the same shoulder inflammation and then experienced more discomfort over the offseason, which led to surgery last month that “cleaned up” his labrum“I was like eh-eh. I wasn’t fully 100 percent,” Montas said Wednesday morning after a delayed arrival to spring training. “I was trying to pitch through it. Of course I got traded to a new team, I wanted to show what I can do.
Montas then tried multiple times to begin a throwing program this offseason, but kept experiencing discomfort. He said he was trying to avoid surgery but called it ultimately “the best decision.”
