Keider Montero Starting Against Rangers on Saturday
Detroit Tigers right-hander Keider Montero will make his first start of the second half on Saturday at Globe Life Field against the hosting Texas Rangers. This will be Montero's eighth start of the season and his first since he picked up his fourth win on July 7 versus the Tampa Bay Rays by throwing six innings of one-run ball with one walk and four strikeouts. The 25-year-old will begin the second half back in the starting rotation, but it might only be for another couple turns through the rotation. Montero has gone 4-1 this year for Detroit with a 4.02 ERA (5.21 FIP) and 1.37 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and 22 walks in 65 innings over 13 appearances (seven starts). He doesn't carry a ton of fantasy upside with his 6.2 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 marks, but he does have some sleeper appeal as a streamer on Saturday against a Rangers offense that ranks 26th in OPS (.675).
