Joins 40-man roster The White Sox selected Montgomery's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact Montgomery slashed only .214/.329/.381 with 18 home runs and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate this season at Charlotte, although he was quite young for the level at 22 (he'll turn 23 in February). He could use some more seasoning, but with a fast start next season Montgomery could push to see time at shortstop with the big club.

Ready for 2023 Double-A debut The White Sox promoted Montgomery from High-A Winston-Salem to Double-A Birmingham on Monday, James Fox of SoxMachine.com reports.

Impact The 21-year-old infielder spent the tail end of the 2022 campaign at Birmingham and slashed .146/.192/.292 over 52 plate appearances, prompting the organization to assign him to Winston-Salem to start the 2023 season. After straining his oblique in the spring and later suffering a back strain, Montgomery opened the campaign on the 7-day injured list before beginning a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on June 19. He was then activated from Winston-Salem's IL on July 4 and posted a 1.089 OPS over 17 games with the affiliate to earn his way back to Birmingham. Now healthy and a year older, Montgomery should be better equipped to find more success in his second stint in the Southern League.

Further delayed by back injury White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Thursday that Montgomery (oblique) is now also dealing with a mid-back strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Impact Montgomery was placed on the minor-league injured list before the start of the season due to a strained oblique and his 2023 debut has been further delayed by this new back issue. Hahn said there's no timeline as to when the 21-year-old outfield prospect will begin a planned rehab assignment with High-A Winston-Salem. Once he's fully healthy, Montgomery is expected to report to Double-A Birmingham.
