Pockets sixth hold
Montero gave up a hit in a scoreless seventh inning Friday to record his sixth hold of the season in a win over the Cardinals.
Impact
The veteran right-hander has provided some stability in middle relief for Atlanta since coming over from Houston in early April. Over 30 appearances for the NL East squad, Montero has posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB in 29 innings, although he has yet to notch a win or a save in 2025.

Shipped to Atlanta
The Astros traded Montero and cash to Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for a player to be named later.
Impact
Montero has made three appearances out of the bullpen so far this season, giving up two earned runs while striking out five batters across four innings. Now in Atlanta, the 34-year-old reliever will likely remain in the major-league bullpen, but he isn't expected to see many high-leverage opportunities.

Visa problems resolved
Montero reported to Astros camp Monday after previously dealing with visa issues, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Montero wound up being only a few days late in reporting, so his preparation shouldn't be too affected. He's owed $11.5 million in the final year of his contract but is in camp as a non-roster invitee.

Has visa issues
Astros manager Joe Espada said Friday that Montero has yet to report to camp due to visa issues but is expected in a few days, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Montero was removed from the Astros' 40-man roster last August but remains in the organization and, when he reports, will be in camp as a non-roster invitee. The 34-year-old held a 4.70 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 23:19 K:BB across 38.1 innings in 2024 and is owed $11.5 million in his final year under contract.

Outrighted to Triple-A
Montero cleared waivers and was outrighted by the Astros to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.
Impact
Montero was DFA'd by Houston on Wednesday, but he didn't garner interest from another team and has elected to stay within the organization rather than enter free agency. Montero has appeared in 41 games for the Astros this season, registering 10 holds with a 4.70 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 23:19 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

DFA'd by Houston
The Astros designated Montero for assignment Wednesday.
Impact
Montero is in the second year of a three-year, $34.5 million contract, and the Astros appear willing to absorb what remains on that deal. The veteran reliever made 41 appearances for Houston this season, posting a 4.70 ERA and 23:19 K:BB over 38.1 innings. Montero will pass through waivers unclaimed before eventually being released.
