Overview

  • The one-year contract includes a $1.25 million base salary with potential performance bonuses, according to multiple reports.
  • Montgomery, 33, will begin 2026 on the injured list as he continues rehab from an April 2025 Tommy John surgery.
  • General manager Ross Fenstermaker said the club’s tentative plan is a post–trade deadline rotation return, with the timeline subject to change.
  • To clear a 40-man spot, Texas designated right-hander Zak Kent for assignment.
  • Montgomery’s latest surgery was performed by Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister; he previously had Tommy John surgery in 2018 and was a key 2023 postseason contributor for Texas.
