Knocks in one Montgomery went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Impact Montgomery was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to a skin infection, but after an additional team day off Monday, he was able to return to the lineup.

Montgomery has performed well since the start of July, scoring 11 runs while driving in 12 across 26 games. He's hitting only .239 in that span, though he likely deserves better as he's maintained just an 18.6 percent strikeout rate in that span.

The rookie outfielder has gone 1-for-15 with five strikeouts over his past four games and has a .239/.315/.384 slash line with three homers through 44 contests this year.
