The Cincinnati Reds have placed pitcher Frankie Montas on the 15-day injured list due to a right forearm contusion. Montas was hit by a comebacker in the first inning of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Angels and exited after just two outs. X-rays revealed no fractures, but Montas is experiencing soreness and swelling. This latest setback comes after Montas missed most of the 2023 season with the New York Yankees following shoulder surgery. He signed a one-year, $14 million contract with the Reds in January that includes a mutual option for 2025.
