LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers pitcher Frankie Montas is expected to miss between two and four months after undergoing surgery to remove his first right rib on Friday morning.
Montas had a stress reaction in his rib. The rib resection procedure was performed in Dallas, Texas by Dr. Greg Pearl, the same physician who removed a rib from Josh Beckett in 2013 to relieve pressure caused by Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
The Dodgers say Montas will begin rehabilitation at Camelback Ranch next week. Pitchers and catchers report to big league camp on Friday, Feb.
