Montero won't be summoned from Double-A Binghamton to start Saturday, as the Mets will turn to Bartolo Colon on short rest instead, Newsday's Marc Carig reports.
He seemed to line up better for that start than any other minor league pitcher in the Mets' system, but Colon, being a soft-tossing 43-year-old, will be called upon to take the ball against the Rockies on short rest. Montero will remain at Double-A for now as he tries to get back on track after struggling at Triple-A to start the season.
