Jordan Montgomery was the New York Yankees starting pitcher when they took on the Astros on Tuesday, but his start only lasted seven pitches. The left handed pitcher had to leave the game due to tightness in his elbow, and after arriving back in New York and being evaluated by Dr. Chris Ahmad, Montgomery was diagnosed with a flexor strain. The injury will put him out of action for six to eight weeks, according to manager Aaron Boone.
Montgomery is also on the disabled list and won’t throw for up to three weeks. He’s started six games this season and has a total of 27.
