Miguel Montero confirmed to Jon Heyman of FanCred Sports that he’s retired.

Montero previously told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic that he’s “pretty much retired,” but he has since clarified that by saying, “I’m done.” It was already pretty clear that he’s moved on to his next act, as the 35-year-old has begun to work as an agent and is the CEO of ZT Sports.

Jonah Tong

NYM Starting Pitcher #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mets RHP prospect Jonah Tong recorded four strikeouts over four shutout innings on Friday for Triple-A Syracuse.

Tong was hit hard during a brief five-game cameo with the Mets late last season and failed to make the club’s season-opening rotation out of spring training. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect offers enough strikeout potential to be a useful fantasy arm but he’s going to have to wait for his opportunity with New York’s rotation mix overflowing with both talent and depth.

Jose Leclerc

SD Relief Pitcher #37

Padres signed RHP José Leclerc to a minor league contract.

Leclerc made just 10 relief appearances for the Athletics before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery last August. The 32-year-old veteran reliever has plenty of high-leverage experience from his closing days with the Rangers and represents a worthwhile low-risk gamble for the Padres on the chance that he’s able to contribute later this season.

Brendan Rodgers

BOS 2nd Baseman #2

Red Sox re-signed 2B Brendan Rodgers to a minor league contract.

Rodgers returns to Boston on a new minor league pact after undergoing right shoulder surgery earlier this month. The 29-year-old infielder will spend at least a couple months rehabbing before he’s ready to return to game action. The odds of him contributing for the Red Sox later this season are extremely low.

Ryan Brasier

TEX Relief Pitcher #54

Rangers re-signed RHP Ryan Brasier to a minor league contract.

Brasier is back in the fold with the Rangers as middle relief depth at Triple-A Round Rock after failing to make the club as a non-roster invitee earlier this spring. The well-traveled 38-year-old

Matt Bowman

MIN Relief Pitcher #51

Twins re-signed RHP Matt Bowman to a minor league contract.

Bowman winds up returning to Minnesota as middle relief depth after being cut loose to pursue other opportunities at the conclusion of spring training. The 34-year-old’s journeyman odyssey has resulted in 231 career appearances between a staggering seven different organizations at the major-league level since 2016.

John Brebbia

MIN Relief Pitcher #60

Twins signed RHP John Brebbia to a minor league contract.

There are few teams with a clearer path to relief innings than the rebuilding Twins. Brebbia heads to Triple-A St. Paul as emergency middle relief depth after failing to crack Colorado’s season-opening bullpen earlier this spring. The 35-year-old veteran posted an inflated 7.71 ERA across 22 appearances between the Tigers and Braves last year but has made 376 relief appearances in the big leagues since 2017.

Austin Voth

TOR Relief Pitcher #30

Blue Jays signed RHP Austin Voth to a minor league contract.

Voth was in camp with the White Sox this spring after pitching overseas in Japan last year. The 33-year-old veteran provides Toronto’s injury-depleted pitching staff with some additional emergency long relief depth at Triple-A Buffalo.

Tyler Gilbert

CWS Relief Pitcher #40

White Sox optioned LHP Tyler Gilbert to Triple-A Charlotte.

Gilbert was shipped back to the minors ahead of Friday’s game against the Brewers. The 32-year-old lefty gave up two runs during his lone inning of work during Thursday’s season-opening rout in Milwaukee.

Justin Sterner

ATH Relief Pitcher #60

Justin Sterner took the loss in the bottom of the ninth after giving up hits to three of the five batters he faced Friday against the Blue Jays.

Brought into a 2-2 game, Sterner retired Alejandro Kirk and Daulton Varsho on groundouts to start the bottom of the ninth. After that, though, he gave up a single to Kazuma Okamoto, a double to Ernie Clement and a game-winning single to Andrés Giménez. He already appeared to be behind Hogan Harris and Mark Leiter Jr. in line for saves on the A’s, and this one won’t improve his standing.

Jeff Hoffman

TOR Relief Pitcher #23

Jeff Hoffman took a blown save but wound up with a win after giving up a solo homer in the ninth Friday against the Blue Jays.

Hoffman struck out four in the ninth, with Tyler Soderstrom reaching on a wild pitch. However, one batter before that, Shea Langeliers hit a game-tying homer on a 98-mph fastball at the top of the zone to tie the contest. There was no real harm after the Jays were able to win the game in the bottom of the ninth, but given that the team doesn’t have a ton of confidence in Hoffman in the ninth, it’d be for the best if he doesn’t blow another save chance right away.
