Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery is set to undergo Tommy John surgery next week, as reported by Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

The 32-year-old Montgomery signed a one-year, $25 million deal with the Diamondbacks just two days before last year’s Opening Day, which included an option.
