Montero out for remainder of season with fractured finger
ByPeteAbe has the news. Montero broke the middle finger on his right (throwing) hand after catching a pitch in last night’s game. He’ll be out 4-6 weeks according to the team, meaning he’s out for the rest of the minor league but could return in time for a stint in winter ball. Montero finished the season at .337-.389-.562 with 17 homers.

Get well my Son
heh
Can he still DH for the Yanks in September? lol
I’m planning on going to a Trenton game next Saturday and I have the means by which to get Montero a get-well soon card.
I am seriously considering it as a possibility.
Don’t bother. He’ll just use it to wipe his ass.
You’re pathetic.
So?
lol that your name is “i hate V” what did he do to you
My, my, I have a fan.
Btw, everyone, this is the same asshole that was making light of Thurman Munson’s death a couple of threads back.
roid sux fan
/e-signs card
What an absolute bummer. Still, at least he was awesome this year when healthy, and this shouldn’t set back his long-term development.
Here’s hoping he gets fully healthy and comes back mashing next year and in winter ball.
Sorry to hear about this. As a Braves fan, it was always interesting to compare Jason Heyward and Jesus Montero’s stats. Montero was obviously the better power hitter. Good luck to the Yankees organization in the future.
RIP Montero
WTH? he broke a finger
I think I might rather have Heyward.
Montero isn’t exactly a consolation prize, though.
Haha, luckily it’s a rather minor injury but thanks for the condolences.
RIP? he aint dead, he broke a digit. get well soon much more appropriate.
Does anyone think he’ll still make a good run at AAA when he comes back. Lets hope his mechanics stay the same
Talk about a nice line. 337/389/562
the year was 0 AD
Wouldn’t that be 1 B.C.?
Broken finger is good news at this point.
I agree. He might make winter ball exciting too.
atleast its not the wrist
I always thought the Yankees will play him in the AFL and now with this injury I think it guarantees it if he’s healthy by then.
Montero is our favorite, his bat was just getting really hot for the 2nd time in Double-A, Get Well you hitting machine.
I am not a machine…Get well Jesus. NY can’t wait for you to arrive the middle of next year.
i knew we should have traded him!!!!! !!
There goes any chance for Montero to win BA’s Minor League POY …
Guess its gonna be Heyward by default.
[...] case you missed the news, Jesus Montero is done for the year with a fractured finger. Mike Ashmore says he may still play in the Arizona Fall League, which I [...]
