Montero (rotator cuff) will start the Mets' Grapefruit League opener Thursday against Washington, ESPN New York reports.
Montero's right shoulder, which cut his season short after April 30 last year, is reportedly healthy and he threw 12 innings on Winter Ball. He is slated to open the season in Triple-A but is on the short list of those as options to make spot starts during the year, assuming he is healthy.
