No word on Montgomery’s replacement, but it appears as though righty Allen Webster will take Edwards’ spot in the bullpen.
Source says Allen Webster is coming up for Carl Edwards, Jr. Kyle Ryan makes sense for Montgomery (@ESPNChiCubs is reporting he's headed for IL) but haven't heard that for sure.
