  • Joins Tigers in Minnesota
    Montero has joined the Tigers in Minnesota and is expected to enter the rotation in place of the injured Casey Mize (hamstring), jkh reports.

    Advice: It's not known yet which day Montero will start, but he will join the rotation sometime this week while Mize misses some time. The right-hander has made two appearances with the Tigers this season -- one as a starter and one as a bulk reliever -- and has allowed nine runs with an 11:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

  • Keider Montero likely to start in place of Mize
    Keider Montero is likely to take the place of Casey Mize (hamstring) in the rotation.

    Advice: Jason Beck of MLB.com reports that Montero is traveling with the team to Minnesota, so that just about confirms it. Mize is currently dealing with hamstring troubles, and is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list. Montero hasn’t had success as an MLB hurler yet, but the 23-year-old has quality stuff and could be an interesting streamer when facing less-than-spectacular lineups. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Shintaro Fujinami (shoulder) moves rehab to Double-A
    Shintaro Fujinami (shoulder) had his rehab assignment moved up to Double-A Binghamton.

    Advice: Fujinami will move up to Double-A after previously working at Low-A St. Lucie. The right-hander can come off the 60-day injured list Wednesday, but it’s unlikely that he makes appearances for the Mets before the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 10:57 am
     
  • Moving up to Double-A
    Astros manager Joe Espada said on Tuesday in an interview with SportsTalk 790 that Garcia's (elbow) next rehab start will come Thursday at Double-A Corpus Christi, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Garcia threw one inning with the Astros' Florida Complex League affiliate this past Friday in his first rehab appearance. It's not clear what his targeted pitch count is for Thursday's outing, but Garcia will need a handful of rehab starts before becoming an option to join the Astros' rotation. He's making his way back from Tommy John surgery. Rotowire.com Today, 10:47 am
     
  • Luis Garcia (elbow) making rehab start Thursday
    Luis Garcia (elbow) will make a rehab start Thursday for Double-A Corpus Christi.

    Advice: Garcia will be making his second rehab appearance after throwing one inning Friday in the Florida Complex League. The 27-year-old right-hander has missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, and he’ll likely need to make a few more starts before having a chance to join Houston’s rotation after the All-Star break; likely closer to August than the middle of July.

  • Summoned to help bullpen
    The Mets recalled Butto from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: All seven of Butto's 2024 appearances with the Mets to this point have come as a starting pitcher, but he will be used in relief this time around in order to provide some length for an overused bullpen. The right-hander has collected a 3.08 ERA and 38:21 K:BB over 38 innings in the majors this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
     
  • Mets recall José Buttó from Triple-A Syracuse
    Mets recalled José Buttó from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Buttó provides a fresh arm for the New York bullpen after their extra-inning victory over the Nationals on Monday. The right-hander takes the roster spot of Tyler Jay, who was optioned back to Triple-A in the corresponding transaction. Rotoworld Today, 10:02 am
     
  • Likely candidate to sub for Mize
    Montero is a likely candidate to start in place of the injured Casey Mize (hamstring) after he was scratched from a scheduled start Monday with Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Mize is expected to land on the 15-day injured list with a strained hamstring, and it looks like Montero will be the choice to take his spot. Mize's next turn had been scheduled for Saturday in Cincinnati, although the Tigers could choose to alter the order of their rotation. Montero has made one start and one bulk relief appearance for Detroit this season, allowing nine runs with an 11:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 9:04 am
     
  • Casey Mize (hamstring) could head to injured list
    Tigers manager AJ Hinch stated in an interview with MLB Network Radio that Casey Mize (hamstring) may need a trip to the injured list.

    Advice: The hope was that Mize’s issue was just a cramp in his hamstring, but it turns out it’s at least a little more severe than that. The right-hander has the All-Star break coming up relatively soon, and it’s possible the Tigers could keep the 27-year-old out of action until after that break. Even if he does avoid a trip to the injured list, don’t be surprised if Mize isn’t able to make his next scheduled start over the weekend. Rotoworld Today, 8:28 am
