Tigers' Keider Montero: Starting ALDS Game 3
Keider Montero will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS versus the Guardians.Montero tossed two shutout innings in relief in Game 1 and will now be handed a start on three days' rest. The right-hander was used primarily as a starter by the Detroit Tigers this season, but while he's capable of providing length, manager A.J. Hinch no doubt will have a short leash with Montero. Lefty Brant Hurter is a prime candidate to enter after Montero and provide multiple innings.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Uneven start Wednesday
Keider Montero allowed one run on four hits and two walks across 2.2 innings and did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Rays. He struck out two.Montero started the game and managed to limit the damage, but he allowed too many baserunners and got lifted after only tossing 55 pitches. The Detroit Tigers then turned to Sean Guenther, who was much more effective, as he posted two perfect innings with three strikeouts to earn the win. Montero has had some nice moments during his rookie season, though the Tigers didn't take any chances extending the youngster Wednesday as they claw toward a playoff spot. The righty is not slated to start again during the regular season but could be used in relief over the weekend if a need arises. If this is it for Montero in 2024, he'll finish the year with a 4.81 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 75 strikeouts across 95.1 innings.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Struggles as bulk pitcher Friday
Keider Montero allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk across 4.2 innings of work in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Orioles. He struck out seven.Montero followed opener Tyler Holton, who allowed two runs of his own, so the former wasn't charged with the loss. However, Montero still struggled as he gave up four home runs and saw his ERA climb from 4.60 to 4.86. The silver lining was the seven strikeouts, which were one away from matching a season high. Montero was previously penciled in to start Sunday's contest against Baltimore, but the team will likely go in a different direction after the righty tossed 82 pitches on Friday. Montero would then likely start or serve as a bulk pitcher sometime next week.
