Montgomery's first outing in spring was delayed first by a strained index finger ligament, then by a rainout March 7 when he was supposed to pitch against the Angels. When he finally got on a mound in a game the next day things went very poorly right out of the gate, and he never recovered.

On the positive side of the ledger, Jordan Montgomery’s injured left index finger felt healthy on Saturday, but other than that there wasn’t much positive to take away from his first appearance of the spring.
