Three weeks later, an out-of-the-blue development is about to play out:
Montas will make his season debut on Sunday in a Triple-A rehab start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Dominican is scheduled to pitch just one inning, but this still is progress that perhaps will lead to …
No, it’s not happening even though Boone didn’t completely rule out Montas making a cameo for the Yankees before the season ends two weeks from Sunday.
“We’re a couple of weeks (away), so we’ll see,” Boone said Saturday night after the Yankees’ 6-3 win in Pittsburgh. “He’s doing well.”The Yankees’ season is down to just 13 games, so it’s very unlikely that they’ll add Montas to the 40-man roster to get him even one big-league outing because he probably has no future with the organization.
