Frankie Montas has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and will require surgery. The exact surgical procedure has not been determined. Medical evaluation indicates the injury will very likely require a full Tommy John reconstruction. A full Tommy John surgery would eliminate any chance of pitching during the 2026 season. Even a less invasive internal brace procedure would necessitate a lengthy recovery period that would keep Montas sidelined for most of the 2026 season. The injury removes Montas from short-term pitching plans and creates a long rehabilitation timeline into next year.
Mets right-hander Frankie Montas has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and will require surgery, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. It seems unclear exactly what kind of surgery Montas will require but Heyman says it will "very likely" be a full Tommy John, which would wipe out his entire 2026 season. Even a lesser surgery such as an internal brace procedure would put him on the shelf for most of next season. More to come.
