Detroit Tigers Roster Transactions | Inside The Diamonds

Tonight, the Detroit Tigers will wrap up their series with the Milwaukee Brewers. They have now won six straight games and are staring down a schedule that doesn’t see them having an off day until April 24th, which means they’ll have played 16 games in a row. To save their pitchers’ arms, they are calling up Keider Montero to make a start today, which allows them to push their starters back a day. Montero was just named International Player of the Week for the Triple-A affiliate of the Tigers, the Toledo Mud Hens. Montero, in his lone start last week, went 5.2 shutout innings; he didn’t allow a hit. He didn’t issue a walk and struck out six. The Tigers are optioning Brenan Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo to make room for Montero.
