Rafael Montero is expected to return from Triple-A Las Vegas to make a spot start for the Mets on April 28 in Miami, per MLB.com. The reliever was sent down to Las Vegas and inserted into their rotation to stretch out as a starter.
Collins reiterated that Montero is not "one-and-done" after his start, but also added that he won't go with a six-man rotation moving forward. Montero allowed an unearned run in two-thirds of an inning against the Marlins on Thursday. He owns a 4.15 ERA in 4 1/3 innings.
