Montero (elbow) is on track to be activated from the injured list Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Montero has been sidelined all season with right elbow tendinitis, but he's set to rejoin the Rangers ahead of Friday's series opener against the Angels. The right-hander should assume a high-leverage relief role after posting a 2.48 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 29 innings with Texas last season. With an unproven cast of characters making up the current closing committee in Texas, Montero could start getting save opportunities if he proves he is back to pitching as effectively as he did in 2019.
