Montgomery has a 12-game hitting streak going for Single-A Fresno during which he's batting .434/.500/.736 with two homers, 15 RBI and three steals.
EDGE Analysis
He's shown promise all year long when healthy, as evidenced by his season line of .307/.386/.489 with six homers and nine swipes. Whiffs have been a big issue for last year's No. 8 overall pick (27.6 percent strikeout rate), but he's been noticeably better in that regard during the course of this streak (16.7 percent). Thanks to questions about his hit tool, Montgomery hasn't gotten a lot of hype relative to his status as a top draft pick, so there may be some opportunity to scoop him up on the cheap in dynasty formats.

Montgomery (undisclosed) recently returned from an extended stint on the 7-day injured list.
EDGE Analysis
Montgomery returned June 25, ending what was a nearly six-week stint on the sideline, his second prolonged absence on the year. With just four games played since late April, a healthy summer for Montgomery is paramount for his development after being selected eighth overall last June.

Montgomery (quadriceps) returned from Low-A Fresno's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 2-for-4 with a double in the team's 8-7 win over Rancho Cucamonga.
EDGE Analysis
Montgomery was sidelined for the past three weeks with the quad injury. Fresno eased Montgomery back into action as its designated hitter Tuesday, but the 19-year-old should settle into an everyday role in center field before long.
