The Chicago White Sox's rookie shortstop Colson Montgomery missed two spring training games due to back spasms, prompting uncertainty about his readiness for the season. Manager Will Venable, while optimistic, provided little specific detail on Montgomery's recovery timeline. Historical skepticism surrounds the White Sox's injury updates, heightening concerns about Montgomery's ability to handle the shortstop position. Many believe the injury could delay his debut and potentially prevent the team from rushing him into the big leagues despite his lackluster performance at Triple-A last season.
"Doing better, still day-to-day...he continues to make progress," said Venable.
"The only positive way to spin this is that this decreases the chances of the Sox prematurely making him the Opening Day shortstop."
"There is already a belief that he will not be able to cut it defensively as a shortstop in the big leagues."
"If this injury drags on through spring training, it might force Montgomery to start the season at Charlotte."
