"The Tigers called up Montero from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Sept. 3, before the finale of the three-game series against the New York Mets at Comerica Park, replacing right-handed reliever Chris Paddack. But Paddack isn't expected to be gone for long. Paddack has been placed on the bereavement list after the death of a family member, which allows him to miss a minimum of three days."
""We're human beings," Paddack said Tuesday, Sept. 2, after the Tigers' 12-5 loss to the Mets. "I want to be there for my family. A.J. (Hinch) and them, they're giving me three days to go spend time with my family and be there. Hopefully, that's a little reset for me, to be able to go back home and hug the loved ones. The reason why I play this game is for them.""
Keider Montero was called up from Triple-A Toledo by the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, Sept. 3, ahead of the finale against the New York Mets, replacing right-handed reliever Chris Paddack. Paddack was placed on the bereavement list after the death of a family member, allowing him to miss three to seven days; he is eligible to return between Sept. 6 and Sept. 10 but plans to return after three days, likely for the second game of the White Sox series. Manager A.J. Hinch said the team learned of Paddack's situation days earlier and adjusted the pitching plan, including pushing back Montero's Triple-A outing to align with the call-up.
