Tigers' Mark Montgomery: Sent back to minors
The Detroit Tigers reassigned Mark Montgomery to their minor-league camp Tuesday.He gave up three runs (two earned) in 5.1 innings over his six Grapefruit League appearances. The right-hander's quality work wasn't enough to convince the team's brass that he was worth adding to the 40-man roster, so he'll presumably report to Triple-A Toledo to open the season and serve in long relief.

Tigers' Mark Montgomery: Deemed available Monday
Mark Montgomery (hand) is listed among the Detroit Tigers' scheduled pitchers for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.Montgomery has been dealing with a blister on his throwing hand for much of the spring, but given his status as a non-roster invitee, he has continued to pitch through the issue as he looks to make a case for the Opening Day roster. At this point, Shane Greene, Joe Jimenez, Drew VerHagen, Alex Wilson, Daniel Stumpf and Warwick Saupold already seem to have secured places in the Tigers' bullpen, likely leaving only one or two spots for a number of pitchers. Montgomery has covered 4.1 innings over five Grapefruit League appearances, submitting a 4.15 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB.

Tigers' Mark Montgomery: Dealing with blister
Mark Montgomery has been dealing with a blister issue throughout most of spring camp, Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group reports.Montgomery remains in a limited capacity while working his way back from this ailment. Consider him day-to-day. The right-hander posted a 2.43 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 66.2 innings of relief with Triple-A Memphis last season and it was expected that he would battle for a spot in the Detroit Tigers' bullpen this spring. If he's unable to get onto the field soon, the 27-year-old will likely be back at the Triple-A level for the start of the 2018 season.

Mark Montgomery: Released by Yankees
The Yankees released Mark Montgomery on Friday, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.The 26-year-old right-hander was once considered a future closer and still may regain that distinction with another organization. Shoulder injuries, however, sapped his velocity and halted his progress a few years ago. Montgomery, who boasts a career 2.33 minor-league ERA with 58 saves and 376 strikeouts to 125 walks in 285.2 innings, probably will latch on somewhere else in short order.
