TAMPA, Fla. -- Since Jordan Montgomery learned last May he would be shut down to undergo Tommy John surgery, the New York Yankees starting pitcher has had one goal: get back for the second half.
The second half of this season, that is, to make his return to a rotation that could be in need of a fresh, live arm.
As Montgomery revealed Wednesday, that anticipated comeback date hasn't changed.
"I've got four more months to get [the left elbow] as strong as I can, and try to work on anything I want to: my mechanics, clean those out, get my legs stronger," Montgomery said.
