Coco Montes Optioned to Triple-A
The Tampa Bay Rays have optioned second baseman Coco Montes back to Triple-A Durham on Friday. Montes was recalled from Durham earlier in the week to replace Yandy Diaz, who was on the restricted list. However, with Diaz expected to return on Friday, Montes will return to the minor leagues. Through five games in Tampa Bay this season, the 28-year-old has posted a .200 AVG with a high 30% strikeout rate. Last season, Montes made his MLB debut with the Colorado Rockies and held a similar .184 AVG across 18 games. However, through 304 career games at Triple-A, Montes has been very effective, posting a .303/.385/.521 slash line with 52 home runs and 32 stolen bases, Fantasy managers should expect Montes to have a depth role in the infield if he returns to Tampa Bay later this season.
