Braden Montgomery Placed on Injured List With Fractured Foot
Braden Montgomery (foot) was placed on Double-A Birmingham's 7-day injured list on Monday. Chicago's top-ranked prospect was hit by a pitch in the second inning of Saturday's contest, resulting in a small fracture in his right foot. The injury will end what was otherwise a good season for the 2024 first-rounder, who began at Single-A and earned two promotions to get to Birmingham. In all, the 22-year-old slashed .270/.360/.444 with 12 home runs and 14 steals in 121 games played. The switch-hitter is still expected to participate in the Arizona Fall League (AFL). If he continues to progress, he should see Triple-A next year and could even see a late season debut in the majors. With solid hit and run tools along with some plus power, he's the type of prospect dynasty managers should be stashing away.
