Mets pitcher Rafael Montero is scheduled to pitch out of the bullpen in Friday's exhibition game against the Rangers in San Antonio, according to NJ.com.
Although a report surfaced earlier in the week that the team picked Dillon Gee over Montero for the final spot in the rotation, manager Terry Collins said that no official decision has been made on their fifth starter.
Montero is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA through four spring outings. He has allowed only one run over his last 10 innings of work. In seven appearances (four starts), Gee has held a 2.49 ERA over 21 2/3 innings of work in Grapefruit League play.
