Summary
Texas Rangers left-hander Jordan Montgomery made his second rehab start with Double-A Frisco, tossing two scoreless, hitless innings with three strikeouts and no walks on 20 pitches (15 strikes). He is recovering from Tommy John surgery and appears to be on a slow, careful progression. Despite the Rangers' rotation dealing with injuries, the article argues Montgomery should not be rushed back to the majors, as pushing his recovery timeline could risk re-injury or compromise his long-term health.
