Mike Montgomery filling void in Cubs' rotation

Chicago Cubs pitcher Mike Montgomery will take Jon Lester's (shoulder) place in the club's rotation.

What It Means:

Montgomery is only guaranteed one start, a road date with the Cincinnati Reds next week, as Lester isn't expected to be out for long. The 28-year-old left-hander is worth an add in deeper fantasy formats.

Over 35 games (eight starts) this season, Montgomery has compiled a 3-6 record while twirling a 3.64 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 18.9 strikeout percentage across 96 1/3 innings.
