Montero’s addition to Detroit reinforces the Tigers’ bullpen depth after a fortuitous trade. His presence shapes late-game planning for Detroit and offers speculative value in holds or saves depending on how the pen shakes out down the stretch.

Montero entered in relief and retired two in the fifth, then moved through the sixth with groundouts to preserve the deficit. His ERA sits around 5.49 across 41 relief appearances, making him a depth piece with upside if he locks in serviceable outings and helps bridge Morton’s exit.
