News
	Tigers right-hander Keider Montero allowed six runs (four earned) on nine hits across 4 1/3 innings, taking the loss at home against the Orioles on Monday. Brenton Kemp Tue, Jul 28th	Triston McKenzie has been reassigned to minor league camp by the San Diego Padres. David Leisering Sat, Mar 21st
	Tigers right-hander Keider Montero allowed one earned run across 5 1/3 innings while earning the win over the Cubs on Wednesday. Brenton Kemp Thu, Jul 23rd	McKenzie carries a 5.46 ERA across 24 big-league appearances (20 starts) since 2023 into Padres camp as a non-roster invitee, but his arm has shown something new this spring. He gained weight over the offseason and pitched in winter ball for the first time, and his four-seamer is averaging 95.7 mph — up two full mph from last season. McKenzie has never touched 97 mph in a major-league game, but he topped that mark 10 times in his most recent Cactus League outing and peaked at 98.8 mph. He admitted having "no idea" where the extra velocity is coming from. Bruno Mulé Fri, Mar 13th
	Tigers right-hander Keider Montero pitched three shutout innings while earning the save against the Rangers on Saturday. Brenton Kemp Sun, Jul 5th
	Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Keider Montero is being moved to the bullpen. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 29th
	Keider Montero allowed five hits and one walk while striking out three over seven scoreless innings in Friday’s win over the Astros. Chris Schommer Sat, Jun 27th
