Keider Montero's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Keider Montero was on his game in Tuesday's 11-0 win over the Rockies. Montero took advantage of a favorable matchup inside his home park, tossing a complete-game shutout with three hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. The 24-year-old's season numbers leave something to be desired but he has pitched better in the second half. Specifically, he has gone 4-2 with a 3.69 ERA in eight starts from August onward. He will face a much tougher matchup in his next start against the Orioles. While he has pitched better, fantasy managers may not want to risk starting him in such a tough matchup so deep into the season.

Detroit Tigers rookie starting pitcher Keider Montero put together his best start of his big-league career on Tuesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Making his eighth start of his big-league career, the 24-year-old tossed six scoreless innings and allowed four hits, one hit, one run and eight strikeouts. The eight strikeouts would be a career-high for Montero. Although it was an encouraging outing for Montero, managers should temper their expectation moving forward as he still has a 5.62 ERA over nine outings (eight starts). Montero will look to keep the positive trend going when in his next matchup on the road against the San Francisco Giants. For now, he can be left on the waiver wire.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Keider Montero threw 6 1/3 innings versus the Twins and allowed six hits, two runs, one walk and struck out four to earn his first big-league victory on Wednesday. It was his best performance as a big leaguer by a landslide, in his third appearance as he replaced starting pitcher Casey Mize (hamstring) in the rotation. Montero is the Tigers seventh ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline and is expected to remain in the rotation with Mize on the shelf. Despite his strong performance on Wednesday, Montero figures to be more of a streamer in favorable matchups. Montero is projected to face the Cleveland Guardians his next time out and can be avoided in that contest.
