Jordan Montgomery starting for Yankees on Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery will make the start for New York on Friday against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Michael Pineda has been diagnosed with a torn UCL, which will shut him down for the better part of the next 18 months. Montgomery will take over on Friday as the Yankees play in Boston.

Our models project Montgomery to post a 4.26 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, with 54 strikeouts over 71.9 innings remaining this season.
