The pitcher that wouldn't have factored in New York's 2022 postseason rotation is now starting game one of the 2023 ALDS for the Rangers.

Jordan Montgomery Steps in Ace Role for Texas Rangers, Starts Playoff Opener
The Texas Rangers open the Wild Card series at the Tampa Bay Rays with Jordan Montgomery on the mound.

If the Texas Rangers have an ace on their staff going into the playoffs, it’s Jordan Montgomery.

The veteran lefty – acquired just before the trade deadline – will lead off the postseason Tuesday, as the Rangers begin a best-of-three Wild Card series at the favored Tampa Bay Rays. First pitch is scheduled for 2:08 p.m. at Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay is going with Tyler Glasnow (10-7, 3.53) in the opener.
