Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Jordan Montgomery will have Tommy John surgery for the second time and will miss the 2025 season.

Montgomery told reporters Tuesday he will be undergoing the elbow procedure. He said he felt sore after his last Cactus League appearance and had imaging.

“We thought it was just kind of like a joint thing, (I) would get a shot in there to clean it up and I’d be good,” Montgomery said. “It just wasn’t the case.”

Montgomery had a 15.00 ERA over three innings in two spring training appearances, allowing five hits and three walks.

The 32-year-old went 8-7 with a 6.23 ERA last season while making 21 starts and four relief appearances after signing as a free agent in a deal that cost the Diamondbacks $47.5 million over two seasons. He had a $25 million salary last year and exercised a $22.5 million player option.

Montgomery had Tommy John surgery while with the New York Yankees on June 7, 2018. He started a minor league rehabilitation assignment on Aug. 25, 2019, and returned to a big league mound that Sept. 15.

He is 46-41 with a 4.03 ERA in 166 career games (161 starts) with the New York Yankees (2017-22), St. Louis Cardinals (2022-23), Texas Rangers (2023) and Diamondbacks.

MARINERS’ RALEIGH GETS NEW DEAL >> Catcher Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $105 million, six-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

Raleigh’s deal supersedes a $5.6 million, one-year agreement on Jan. 9 that avoided salary arbitration. The 28-year-old would have been eligible for arbitration after the 2025 and 2026 seasons, and was on track to be eligible for free agency after the 2027 World Series.

Raleigh set career highs last year with 34 homers and 100 RBIs while hitting .220. He has a .218 career average with 93 homers and 251 RBIs in four seasons with the Mariners.

BLUE JAYS’ KIRK GETS EXTENSION >> Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk has finalized a $58 million, five-year contract covering 2026-30.

Kirk agreed in January to a $4.6 million, one-year contract and would have been eligible for arbitration again next winter and for free agency after the 2026 World Series. His new deal includes salaries of $7.5 million in 2026 and $11,125,000 in each of the next four seasons.

Kirk has spent his entire major league career with Toronto since making his debut in 2020. The 26-year-old has hit .264 with a .344 on-base percentage, 36 homers and 187 RBIs, including ..253 with a .319 on-base percentage, five homers and 54 RBIs last season.

Kirk’s best season came in 2022, when he made the AL All-Star team and hit .285 with a .372 on-base percentage, 14 homers and 63 RBIs.

ANGELS CUT MONIAK >>Outfielder Mickey Moniak was released by the Los Angeles Angels after beating the team in salary arbitration and will receive $483,781 in termination pay rather than his $2 million salary.

Moniak hit .219 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs last season for the Angels, who acquired the former No. 1 overall pick from Philadelphia in August 2022 in a trade for pitcher Noah Syndergaard. In 2 1/2 seasons with Los Angeles, Moniak batted .242 with 100 RBIs and a .709 OPS.

He was awarded the $2 million salary on Jan. 31 instead of the team’s $1.5 million offer.

Moniak was expected to share the Angels’ starting job in center field this season with Jo Adell, making his release a surprising development two days before the start of the season.
