Tigers' Keider Montero: Slated for bulk relief Friday

Montero is slated to handle a bulk relief role Friday versus the Reds, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Brant Hurter will open for the Tigers before handing things off to Montero. Montero is not unfamiliar with bulk relief, having pitched in that role in three of his last five outings. He has not pitched well following an opener this season, however, posting a 7.36 ERA.
