Bails out team in win Montgomery (1-0) walked one and struck out one over 3.2 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Starter Cal Quantrill exited after four outs with lat tightness, necessitating another heavy lift from the Rangers' bullpen, which covered 4.2 innings a day earlier. Montgomery's effort extended a scoreless streak to 7.2 innings. After a couple of rough outings upon his activation from the injured list in early August, the left-handed former starter sports a 1.72 ERA and 0.57 WHIP over his last 15.2 relief innings. His length may come in handy over the final week of the regular season should Texas require a fill-in starter.

Candidate for rotation Montgomery is considered as a possible replacement for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) in Texas' rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Montgomery was recently activated and pitched four innings (79 pitches) as a reliever Sunday. At the time, manager Skip Schumaker said the left-hander would be used as a relief pitcher, but things changed since. Eovaldi was placed on the injured list Monday, and now Montomery is poised to enter the rotation. "We have a pretty good idea, but we're going to wait to see what these next couple games look like," Schumaker said. "Obviously it's going to be internal, but as far as who that is, we'll see what these next two games look like." Cal Quantrill is another option to replace Eovaldi.
