Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Brenan Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee. The Tigers will use his spot to recall right-hander Keidero Montero to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers. Hanifee needed 38 pitches to throw 1 1/3 innings on Tuesday. He gave up two runs, but both were unearned due to third baseman Andy Ibanez’s throwing error.

Right-handed starter Keider Montero will make his 2025 debut on Wednesday afternoon in Milwaukee. The Detroit Tigers have listed Montero as their starter for the series finale against the Brewers. A corresponding move will be required after Tuesday night’s game to add Montero to the roster. The Tigers are following a script they’ve used at times over the last two seasons: building in extra rest for their starting rotation by using a “sixth starter” from Triple-A Toledo.
