Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
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.

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
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.

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
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.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Officially recalled

Tigers' Keider Montero: Working in bulk relief Tuesday
Montero will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo and is set to be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Montero will fill the opening in the rotation created by Casey Mize's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list, but the 24-year-old righty won't be tasked with handling a traditional starting role. Instead, the Tigers will use Tyler Holton as their opening pitcher, but he's expected to cover no more than one or two innings before giving way to Montero. Montero is fresh off an impressive eight-inning outing with the Tigers against the Rockies at Coors Field last Thursday, when he surrendered one run on five hits while striking out two and walking three.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Likely to start Tuesday's game
Montero has a locker in the Detroit clubhouse and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Montero will presumably be called upon to fill in for the injured Casey Mize (hamstring) in the rotation. The 24-year-old right-hander tossed eight frames of one-run ball at Coors Field in a spot start last week before being optioned to Triple-A, but he is eligible to be recalled at any time because he served as the 27th man for a doubleheader that day.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Sent back down after spot start
The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
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 at Coors Field. He'll rejoin the rotation at Toledo but will be the top option the next time the Tigers need a spot starter.

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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 Rockies.
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 after being the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader.

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
Montero's last MLB appearance came during a spot start in a doubleheader April 26, and he'll 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.

The Tigers optioned Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Montero made a spot start during Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, yielding one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings of work. The right-hander will now rejoin the rotation at Toledo as he awaits another opportunity at the big-league level.

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
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.

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

Tigers' Keider Montero: 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.
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.

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

Tigers' Keider Montero: Sticking around in majors
Montero remains on the Tigers' active roster following Wednesday's start against the Brewers and is expected to pitch again in 4-to-5 days, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It was anticipated that Montero would be sent back down to the minors following what was expected to be a spot start. However, manager A.J. Hinch said "there was a lot we liked" about Montero's start in Milwaukee, and "we're hoping to get another outing of him." Whether that's another start or perhaps an extended relief appearance isn't clear. Montero permitted five runs on eight hits across five innings against the Brewers, but he also walked just one and struck out eight.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Takes loss in season debut
Montero (0-1) allowed five runs on eight hits across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Brewers. He walked one and struck out eight.
Montero, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo earlier Wednesday for the spot start, struggled to keep the ball in the park during his 2025 MLB debut. The righty was tagged for home runs by Christian Yelich, Rhys Hoskins and Sal Frelick. The eight strikeouts were a bright spot for Montero, as he recorded only a 7.0 K/9 during his 2024 rookie season. He could now return to the minors, as the Tigers were simply giving their other starters a bit of extra rest and don't have any injuries in the rotation.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Recalled ahead of spot start
The Tigers recalled Montero from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Montero will get a spot start Wednesday in Milwaukee as the Tigers look to provide their regular rotation members with extra rest. The right-hander was off to a nice start with Toledo, permitting three runs with an 11:1 K:BB over 9.2 frames covering his first two outings.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Slated to make start Wednesday
The Tigers plan to recall Montero from Triple-A Toledo and give him the start Wednesday against the Brewers, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Manager A.J. Hinch said nobody is injured, and the Tigers just want to push the rotation back one day, as the team is in the midst of a 24-day stretch that includes just one off day. Montero appeared in 19 regular-season games for the Tigers last season, making 16 starts, and turned in a 6-6 record, 4.76 ERA and 77:31 K:BB while serving up 19 home runs across 98.1 innings.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Sent down to minors
Montero was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
The 24-year-old righty put together a decent spring, posting a 3.21 ERA, 1.29 WHP and 17: 6 K:BB in 14 innings, but Montero ultimately fell short in his bid for a roster spot. In light of this transaction, Casey Mize and Jackson Jobe appear locked in at the back of the rotation for Detroit.
