Montgomery said he's comfortable with being put in the bullpen, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced on Thursday that Brett Anderson would be the team's No. 5 starter, while Montgomery will start the year working in the bullpen, where he excelled for the Cubs in 2016. "I feel good about it," Montgomery said. "I'm here to get outs and it doesn't matter when or where it is." Anderson does have a lengthy injury history, so Montgomery could make some starts eventually.
