The Cardinals have traded CF Harrison Bader to the Yankees for LHP Jordan Montgomery.
In 21 starts this season (114 2/3 IP), he has a 3.69 ERA, 45.3 groundball rate, 20.7 k rate, 4.9 walk rate.
The 6-6, 228-pound South Carolina native is ranked 9th in the American League with a 1.09 WHIP, walking just 1.8 batters per 9 IP, ranking 7th in the AL.
Montgomery has one more arbitration year next season. Bader is a free agent after the season.
Bader has been in a walking boot and is expected to miss several more weeks due to plantar fasciitis.
No other players involved in the trade, but if Bader does not return this season, Cardinals will send a PTBNL.
