New York Mets' Frankie Montas strains back muscle, out up to two months

Frankie Montas, a pitcher for the New York Mets, will be shut down for six to eight weeks due to a high-grade latissimus dorsi strain, according to manager Carlos Mendoza.
Montas, who signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the Mets, will require a spring training-like ramp up after his shutdown.
Mendoza indicated that Montas' injury would not change the team's plans for a six-man rotation despite the uncertainty it creates.
The Mets have signed additional pitchers, including Sean Manaea and Griffin Canning, to strengthen their rotation while Montas is out.
