Montgomery Returns to Rangers on 1-Year Deal After UCL Reconstruction

Pitcher Jordan Montgomery has signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal to rejoin the Texas Rangers. He underwent a hybrid UCL reconstruction last March and is targeting a major-league return around the All-Star break. The 33-year-old, who helped the Rangers win the 2023 World Series, struggled with a 6.23 ERA for the Diamondbacks in 2024 and was diagnosed with a torn UCL in 2025 Spring Training, finishing that season with the Brewers. He hopes to recapture his 2023 form with his former club.
