Despite a poor performance Thursday for Triple-A Las Vegas by pitching prospect Rafael Montero, the Mets have confirmed that he will start Tuesday at Miami, per ESPN.
The 24-year-old Montero has proven mediocre and a bit wild in limited major league opportunities. He has walked 27 in 48 2/3 innings, including four in 4 1/3 innings over four relief appearances in 2015. But he has averaged more than a strikeout per inning.
