Episode Details

Jordan Montgomery’s return to the Texas Rangers after a 60-day IL stint comes with a twist—he’s headed to the bullpen, not the rotation. To make room, pitcher Nolan Kingham was designated for assignment. Manager Skip Schumaker made the call based on Cody Bradford’s recent strong performance, which earned him a rotation spot over Montgomery for now. Though Montgomery hasn’t pitched in relief since 2019 and was signed to rehab and potentially slot into the rotation, his stuff looked sharp in minor league rehab. With injuries thinning the staff, this move balances depth and strategy—Montgomery bolsters the bullpen while Bradford locks down the rotation. It’s a smart, flexible adjustment as the Rangers gear up for a long season.
