    Rockies' Benny Montgomery: Recovering from shoulder surgery

    Double-A Hartford placed Benny Montgomery on its full-season injured list after he underwent left shoulder surgery in May, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.He slashed .283/.313/.500 with two home runs, three steals, 20 strikeouts and two walks in 11 games for Hartford before suffering the season-ending injury in late April. Set to turn 22 years old Sept. 9, Montgomery possesses above-average raw power and plus speed, but he struck out at a 41.7 percent clip in his first test against Double-A pitching. It's unclear if Montgomery will be fully recovered in time for spring training.

    Rockies' Benny Montgomery: Cranking in Single-A

    Benny Montgomery has a 12-game hitting streak going for Single-A Fresno during which he's compiled a .434/.500/.736 slash line with two home runs, 15 RBI and three steals.He's shown promise all year long when healthy, as evidenced by his season line of .307/.386/.489 with six homers and nine stolen bases. Whiffs have been a big issue for last year's eighth overall pick (27.6 percent strikeout rate), but he's been noticeably better in that regard during the course of this streak (16.7 percent). Thanks to questions about his hit tool, Montgomery hasn't gotten a lot of hype relative to his status as a top draft pick, so there may be some opportunity to scoop him up on the cheap in dynasty formats.
