Montgomery<\/a> (illness) will start at shortstop and bat cleanup in Wednesday’s Cactus League game against the Reds.<\/p>\n

After falling ill, Montgomery was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Monday’s game against the Rockies, but the young infielder looks to be good to go following a couple days of rest and recovery. Montgomery is poised to enter 2026 as the White Sox<\/a>‘s everyday shortstop after slugging 21 home runs in just 71 games as a rookie last season, but trimming down his 29.3 percent strikeout rate will likely be essential if he’s to improve upon his middling .239 batting average.<\/p>\n
