Cubs' Miguel Montero undergoes MRI for back issue
Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Montero underwent an MRI for his back.
What It Means:
Montero has already been placed on the disabled list after experiencing a flareup of the chronic bulging disk issue that has bothered him since 2013. It sounds like this could be an extended absence. David Ross and Tim Federowicz will share time behind the plate, with prospect Willson Contreras waiting in the wings for a mid-summer callup.
Montero currently has a slash line of .208/.316/.333 with a .269 wOBA across 57 appearances at the plate. We project him to finish the season posting a .278 wOBA, with 16 homers and 60 RBI's.
