Allows five runs in bulk relief Montero surrendered five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Monday.

Impact Montero worked in a bulk-relief role for the second straight game, though he took on a starter's workload with 5.2 frames and 98 pitches. The right-hander entered with one out in the first inning after Sean Guenther had allowed allowed a run on three hits, and though Montero got out of that frame without yielding further damage, he gave up four runs across the fourth and fifth innings and was charged with another after he departed in the seventh. It remains to be seen if Montero will continue entering behind an opener, but he should keep getting the ball on a starter's schedule even after Casey Mize (hamstring) returns from the injured list, as Reese Olson (finger) landed on the IL on Monday.

Gray, Donovan spark Cardinals to 11-4 win over MLB-leading Tigers

Set for bulk role Monday Montero is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Sean Guenther in Monday's game in St. Louis, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The Cardinals typically use two left-handed batters -- Lars Nootbaar and Brendan Donovan -- among their top three spots in the lineup, so the Tigers will have the left-handed Guenther open the game with the hope of stymieing the St. Louis offense early on. Guenther is unlikely to work more than a couple of innings before giving way to Montero, who will be making his second straight appearance in a bulk-relief role after covering 3.1 frames and giving up three earned runs out of the bullpen last Tuesday against the Red Sox. Montero should stick around as the de facto fifth member of the Detroit rotation until Casey Mize (hamstring) is cleared to return from the 15-day injured list.

Yields three runs in relief Montero allowed three runs on five hits and a walk over 3.1 innings during Tuesday's extra-innings win over Boston. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Montero was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday and worked in a bulk relief role after Tyler Holton threw 1.2 innings as the opener. Alex Bregman knocked a solo home run in the fourth inning and Boston tallied a pair of runs in the fifth. Montero owns a 4.68 ERA with an 18:11 K:BB through 25 MLB innings. If he sees another turn in the rotation or as a bulk reliever, he'd be lined up to make his next appearance in St. Louis.

Officially recalled Montero was recalled from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Montero will work as the bulk reliever behind opener Tyler Holton. Montero has a 4.15 ERA and 1.48 WHIP this season with 15 strikeouts and 10 walks in 21.2 innings.

Working out of bullpen Tuesday Montero will be deployed as the primary pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Montero was thought to be in line for a spot start Tuesday, but the Tigers will elect to roll out an opener before calling on Montero out of the bullpen. The right-hander is fresh off an impressive eight-inning outing Thursday at Coors Field, surrendering one run on five hits while striking out two and walking three.

Likely to start Tuesday's game Montero has a locker in the Tigers' clubhouse and is likely to be recalled ahead of Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact He will presumably start Tuesday's contest, as the Tigers need a fill-in for the injured Casey Mize (hamstring). Montero tossed eight frames of one-run ball at Coors Field in a spot start last week, but he is eligible to be recalled at any time because he served as the 27th man for a doubleheader that day.

Sent back down after spot start The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact Montero was up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies and dazzled in a spot start, spinning eight frames of one-run ball. He'll rejoin the rotation at Toledo but will likely be looked to the next time the Tigers need a starter.

Excellent in spot start Montero (1-1) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two over eight innings to earn the win in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Rockie...

Impact Starters Casey Mize and Montero combined to cover 14 of the 18 innings in the twin bill, with Montero doing an excellent job to preserve the bullpen in the nightcap. He was efficient as well, throwing 66 of 92 pitches for strikes, though Beau Brieske handled the ninth inning of the 11-1 win. Over four major-league starts, Montero has a 4.15 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 21.2 innings. While he didn't impress in his first two starts of the season, he's been positive as a spot starter in doubleheaders recently and should be the first man up if there's an opening in the Tigers' rotation. However, it's expected he'll return to Triple-A Toledo shortly after being the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader.

MAY 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Up as 27th man The Tigers recalled Montero from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

Impact Montero's last MLB appearance came during a spot start in a doubleheader April 26, and he'll likely be called upon to start the nightcap again Thursday. The 24-year-old righty owns a 5.93 ERA through 13.2 innings with the Tigers this season and will likely head back to Toledo once his 27th-man duties are completed.

Starting Game 2 as 27th man The Tigers added Montero to their roster as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, and he will start the nightcap against Baltimore, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Tigers didn't use Montero out of the bullpen during Game 1, so they'll give the 24-year-old his third start of the season Saturday. He's allowed eight earned runs over 9.1 innings in the majors so far this season but will have a decent chance to bounce back against an Orioles offense that ranks 20th in the majors with a .692 OPS.

Optioned to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Montero made two starts during his time in the majors, allowing nine runs (eight earned) with an 11:5 K:BB over 9.1 innings. He's being replaced on the roster by reliever Chase Lee.

Torres and McKinstry each get 3 hits, Tigers beat the Padres 6-4 for 4th win in 5 games

Gleyber Torres and Zach McKinstry each had three hits and the Detroit Tigers beat the San Diego Padres 6-4 for their fourth win in five games

Struggles in no-decision Montero did not factor into the decision in Monday's 6-4 win over the Padres, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks over 1.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Montero slogged through this 91-pitch performance that saw him match a career worst in issuing four free passes. The San Diego lineup set the tone in the first inning, generating a run on two hits and a walk, as Montero couldn't manage a clean inning. The 24-year-old has pitched to a 7.71 ERA and 1.93 WHIP while allowing four homers across 9.1 innings. After making two starts, he looks bound for the minors again as Montero received the likely temporary promotion to give the Detroit rotation extra rest.

APRIL 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Making second start Monday Montero will start Monday's game against the Padres in Detroit, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Though he was tagged for five earned runs over five innings while taking a loss in his 2025 MLB debut last Wednesday in Milwaukee, Montero will stick around for at least one more start while Detroit temporarily expands its rotation to six men during a stretch of 23 games in 24 days. Montero likely won't be in line for a long-term stay with Detroit, though a stronger showing against the Padres and in any future outings that follow could compel the coaching staff to find a more permanent spot for the right-hander.
