Roughed up in Friday's matinee Montero escaped with a no-decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out...

Impact The right-hander was staked to a 6-1 lead after three innings, but a grand slam by Brayan Rocchio in the fourth brought Cleveland level and helped send Montero to the showers after 82 pitches (51 strikes). The six earned runs allowed were a season worst for Montero, while four innings represented his shortest outing since July 17, when he worked in relief. Over six trips to the mound since the beginning of August, he's produced a 4.13 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings. Montero will look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.

Stingy in Saturday's no-decision Montero didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The right-hander tossed 50 of 73 pitches for strikes but fell short of recording his 10th quality start of the season, and the Tigers didn't push across the winning run until the bottom of the ninth. Montero wraps up August having posted a 2.83 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB over five starts and 28.2 innings, and his spot in the rotation should be secure even when Jack Flaherty (forearm) is cleared to return. Montero will look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Cleveland.

Ready to go for Saturday Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Montero is on track to start Saturday's game versus the Dodgers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Montero was given extra rest in between starts because he didn't recover well from his last outing, but he was not considered to be injured and will be ready to take the ball this weekend. The right-hander has been valuable in a swingman role for the Tigers this season, logging a 3.30 ERA over 21 starts and six relief outings.

Next start delayed Montero will not make his next scheduled start during the Tigers' upcoming series against the Rays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Montero isn't dealing with an injury, but the Tigers said he didn't recover well from his most recent start against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, so they'll give him a few extra days to recover before taking the mound again. Detroit has yet to set a date for the right-hander's next appearance, but it will likely come sometime next weekend against the Dodgers.

Yields three runs in fifth for loss Montero (9-8) took the loss against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings.

Impact Montero looked to be in complete control of Tuesday's game after retiring the first 12 batters he faced. That momentum quickly shifted in the fifth, when he opened the inning with a walk before yielding a two-run homer to Oneil Cruz. Montero gave up another run in the frame and didn't come back out for the sixth, ultimately taking the loss as his Tigers teammates provided little offense against Pirates right-hander Braxton Ashcraft. Montero will take a 3.30 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 133.2 innings into his next start, slated for next week at home against the Rays in what projects to be a two-start week.

Blanks Cleveland Montero (9-7) earned the win Thursday over the Guardians, allowing three hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact Montero wasn't overpowering Thursday, though he limited hard contact to hold the Guardians scoreless in an eventual 3-0 shutout victory. Montero has now gone at least six innings in each of his last three starts, though he did give up five runs and a pair of homers his last time out against the Giants. Through 128.2 innings this season, Montero sports a solid 3.22 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 86:29 K:BB. He's tentatively slated to face the Pirates on the road his next time out.

Struggles against Giants Montero (8-7) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss versus the Giants on Friday.

Impact Montero wasn't able to take advantage of a favorable matchup, getting tagged for four runs over the first two innings. A Willy Adames homer in the fifth frame made it a five-run outing. Montero hadn't given up more than four runs in any game prior to July 27, but he's now been tagged for five or more runs in two of his last three starts. He's at a 3.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 86:28 K:BB across 122.1 innings through 25 games (19 starts) this season. Montero will look to get back on track at home versus the Guardians next week.
