The Rays recalled Montes from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.
The 28-year-old was sent back to Triple-A last Thursday but will now return after a week in the minors to give the Rays some bench depth following Jake Mangum's (groin) move to the IL. Montes owns a .489 OPS through 51 plate appearances at Durham this season, so he shouldn't be expected to contribute much while with the big club.
