It took no time at all for the Dodgers to get bit by the injury bug this year, as the team announced RHP Frankie Montas underwent surgery this morning to remove his first rib.
According to the Dodgers, Montas will miss 2-4 months.
Montas was the big get in the three-way trade between the Dodgers, Reds and White Sox earlier this offseason. He was acquired along with Trayce Thompson and Micah Johnson from the White Sox, the Dodgers sent Scott Schebler, Brandon Dixon and Jose Peraza to the Reds, and the Reds sent Todd Frazier to the southside.
