The D-backs will be moving their struggling left-handed starter to a relief role.
, left-handed veteran starter Jordan Montgomery will be the one to transition to a bullpen role. Right-hander Ryne Nelson will remain a member of the starting rotation.
But it hasn't worked out for either party thus far. Montgomery has pitched to a brutal 6.44 ERA in 19 starts, over 95 innings. Although showing some flashes of the pitcher he's known to be at times, the general output has not been up to Mongtomery's standards. Ryne Nelson, however, has done the opposite in the last month and a half. Despite struggling majorly in 2023, and beginning this season on a rough note, Nelson has become one of the D-backs' most effective arms. His 4.35 ERA is bolstered by a 3.64 FIP, though the ERA comes down to 3.05 over his last seven starts.
