The Tigers recalled Montero from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

He'll join the 28-man active roster as a replacement for Chris Paddack, who was placed on the bereavement list. Montero will give the Tigers bullpen some much-needed length after their relievers had to cover five innings in Tuesday's 12-5 loss to the Mets.

Megill (elbow) struck out five batters and allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse.

After tossing five innings in the third start of his rehab assignment Aug. 22, Megill has now covered four frames his last two times out at Triple-A, but he was able to get stretched out to 79 pitches Tuesday and looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list. The Mets haven't confirmed that Megill will be deployed as a starter upon his activation, though he looks like a decent bet to get a look in that role while Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea have struggled since the beginning of August to put their standing in the rotation on shaky ground. If Megill is inserted into the rotation, he could be reinstated for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, though the Mets may prefer to wait until early next week to make a roster move in order to give him an extra day or two to recover from Tuesday's outing with Syracuse.

Cecconi allowed seven runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out eight in 5.1 innings against the Red Sox on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Cecconi allowed a season-worst 11 hits and has now given up at least five runs in three of his last five starts. The Red Sox piled on four runs with six hits in the second and would add another three runs via the long ball. He's given up at least one home run in nine consecutive starts and has allowed 15 total in 11 outings since the start of July. A positive is he didn't issue a walk for a third straight start, and his eight strikeouts was one below his season high. Cecconi will look to rebound in a softer matchup versus Kansas City next week.

Cobb (hips) resumed his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, pitching around three walks and a hit in a scoreless inning.

The Tigers elected to pull Cobb off his rehab assignment last week so that they could restart his 30-day rehab clock. The veteran right-hander is working his way back from injuries to both of his hips and could fill a relief role for the Tigers late in the season.

Kershaw came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Pirates, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The 37-year-old lefty looked like he would get chased early when the Bucs struck for four runs in the first inning, but Kershaw kept his composure and gave the Dodgers a chance to tie things up before he left the mound after 83 pitches (49 strikes). He's provided at least five innings in six straight starts since the beginning of August, posting a 2.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB in 33.2 innings over that stretch as he continues to pad his Hall of Fame resume. Kershaw is scheduled to make his next outing at home early next week against the woeful Rockies.

Crochet allowed seven runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out four in six innings Tuesday against the Guardians. He did not factor into the decision.

Crochet was roughed up for a season-high seven runs and tied his career-worst mark by allowing four home runs. He allowed just one run through five and completely imploded in the sixth, allowing six runs on three separate homers, but he was spared the loss with the Red Sox scoring 11 runs. Tuesday's blowup put a serious dent in Crochet's case for the AL Cy Young Award, but he still sits pretty with a 2.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He'll aim to rebound next week in a road start versus the Athletics.

Berrios came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-9 win over the Reds, surrendering six runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.

The veteran right-hander hadn't taken the mound since Aug. 23, but the extended rest didn't seem to help Berrios, who needed 66 pitches (35 strikes) to record just six outs. The blow to his ERA was cushioned by an Isiah Kiner-Falefa throwing error in the second inning, but it's still the seventh time in 11 starts since the beginning of July that Berrios has been tagged for at least four runs, a stretch in which he carries a 5.47 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 2.4 HR/9 and 42:14 K:BB over 52.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next outing at home early next week against the Astros.

McLean (4-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 12-5 victory over the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

The rookie right-hander wasn't quite as sharp as he'd been over his last two starts, when he dazzled with a 13:0 K:BB over 15 innings, but McLean got stronger as the game went on and retired the final 14 batters he faced. He's won all four of his big-league starts, posting a 1.37 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB through 26.1 frames and injecting serious life into the Mets' playoff hopes. The team's rotation is potentially in flux, but McLean likely lines up to make his next trip to the mound on the road early next week in a huge NL East clash with the Phillies.

Means (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday followed by a rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Friday's outing will be the fifth rehab start for Means, who logged four innings and 58 pitches in his previous outing Sunday. His pitch count will bump up to 75 on Friday, after which the left-hander could rejoin Cleveland's staff. Presumably, Means would join the rotation, but the Guardians are moving to a six-man rotation this week that currently doesn't include Means, per Molly Burkhardt of MLB.com. Joey Cantillo will start Wednesday's series finale against Boston at Fenway Park, joining the existing five-man rotation. Of the six current starters, Slade Cecconi and Gavin Williams have already passed their career highs in innings pitched, while Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee are nearing theirs. That suggests Means could be a replacement for one of the starters at or past their previous career high in innings.

Cavalli (2-1) earned the win Tuesday over the Marlins, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six in five innings.

Cavalli had a strong bounce-back outing after getting pummeled for eight runs (seven earned) by the Yankees in his previous start. He tossed three scoreless frames before the Marlins pushed a pair of runs across in the fourth and he was eventually pulled after tossing 75 pitches through five. Cavalli's fastball topped out at 99 mph and he tied his season high in strikeouts despite the quick hook. Cavalli is over 100 innings pitched for the season between the majors and minors, so it wouldn't be surprising to see some restrictions as the season winds down. He's currently lined up to face Miami again on the road next week.
