Keider Montero earns three-inning save Saturday against Rangers

Tigers right-hander Keider Montero pitched three shutout innings while earning the save against the Rangers on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
A seventh-inning walk to Evan Carter was Montero's lone blemish on the afternoon, as he was otherwise excellent despite not recording a strikeout of any of the 10 batters he faced. The right-hander was recently moved to the bullpen with a sudden logjam of healthy starters in the rotation, but Montero appears to be a young arm on the rise. The 25-year-old now owns a 3.21 ERA across 18 outings (15 starts), but his underwhelming 16.2% K% has him sitting with a 4.81 xFIP and a 4.70 SIERA, suggesting some regression could be heading his way.
