The Detroit Tigers are making proactive roster adjustments by recalling right-handed pitcher Keider Montero and sending left-handed pitcher Bailey Horn to Triple-A Toledo. Montero is stepping in to support a fatigued bullpen as the Tigers manage injuries among their pitchers. Despite frequent moving between the major league and minor league, Montero has become a key player on the team, ranking fourth in innings pitched. However, his strikeout rate remains low compared to his workload, presenting a challenge in his effectiveness on the mound.

With the Tigers already dealing with injuries to key starters including Jackson Jobe, who is out for the season with Tommy John surgery, and Sawyer Gipson-Long on the injured list, Montero’s role is crucial. The team is optimistic about the potential return of José Urquidy and Alex Lange in the near future, which could further impact Montero's usage and the overall strength of the pitching rotation.
