Montgomery could fill the vacancy in the Cubs' rotation if Brett Anderson (back) is placed on the disabled list, Patrick Mooney of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery has been stellar out of the Cubs' bullpen this season, as he currently holds a 1.29 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 21 innings pitched. He has some starting experience to his name, and given his success so far, there's a decent chance he could spend a fair amount of time as a starter in the coming weeks. Eddie Butler is also in the mix for the spot should the need arise, however, so more news on this front should come forth in the coming days depending on Anderson's health.
