2024 Fantasy Outlook
Montero reached two new levels in 2023, and the young righty posted a 4.66 ERA and 1.37 WHIP while striking out 160 batters over 111.1 innings between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo. The 23-year-old also saw 16 innings of action for High-A West Michigan, with the 127.1 total innings representing a new career high. Like a lot of young pitchers, Montero could work to cut down the walks a bit, but he flashed plenty of potential by recording a K/9 of 10.0 or above at each of the three levels he appeared at in 2023. The Tigers saw enough to add Montero to the 40-man roster in November and protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. He seems to be closing in on his MLB debut in the near future, though he will likely begin 2024 at Triple-A again to get some more work there. If Montero continues to miss bats and can reduce the free passes, a promotion may be in order at some point during the season. Read Past Outlooks

Returned to Triple-A
PDetroit Tigers  AAA
May 29, 2024
The Tigers returned Montero to Triple-A Toledo after Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Montero was dealt the loss in his MLB debut after striking out five but giving up four earned runs on five hits and one walk in 4.1 innings in the Tigers' 10-2 loss to the Pirates in the second game of the twin bill. He'll now return to Toledo as organizational rotation depth. The 23-year-old righty owns a 4.40 ERA and 1.49 WHIP through nine starts in the minors, and his rough debut could cause the Tigers to look elsewhere in their farm system if they need to fill a rotation spot later in the season.
