Jordan Montgomery

Jordan Montgomery earned the win in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Reds, allowing two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out two over seven innings.

This performance was a mixed bag for fantasy managers, as the win adds value, but the low strikeout total continues a concerning trend for the season. With a 4.70 ERA and a 3.9 K/9 rate through five starts, Montgomery's appeal in fantasy leagues remains limited primarily to deeper formats or as a streaming option in favorable matchups. His 1.30 WHIP and 4.87 FIP suggest potential for improvement, but the lack of strikeouts caps his upside significantly.

Jordan Montgomery struggled mightily in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to the Dodgers, surrendering six earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out only one over three innings.

This performance ballooned his ERA to 5.63 and WHIP to 1.31 for the season, further troubling signs for fantasy managers hoping for a turnaround. With a low strikeout rate of 4.5 K/9 and a FIP of 5.44 indicating his struggles are not just bad luck, Montgomery's role as a viable fantasy starter is increasingly questionable. His inability to limit walks and home runs this season should have managers wary of using him in all but the most favorable matchups.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over seven innings. Despite the loss, Montgomery's overall season numbers remain strong, boasting a 2.08 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP through his first three starts. However, his low strikeout rate of 4.9 K/9 may be a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for strikeouts.

Jordan Montgomery turned in a strong performance on Friday, allowing just one earned run on four hits over six innings, while striking out three and walking none in the Diamondbacks' 17-1 rout of the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marked his first start of the season, and he certainly set a high bar. While his strikeout numbers weren't eye-popping, his ability to limit walks and hits was impressive. Moving forward, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his strikeout rates, but his efficiency could make him a valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward WHIP and ERA.
