Mets' Frankie Montas Confirmed to Pitch Saturday Against Brewers, Role TBD Amidst Struggles

Mets right-hander Frankie Montas is confirmed by manager Carlos Mendoza to pitch on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, despite a recent disastrous outing where he allowed seven runs in four innings. His exact role, however, is still to be determined, with the team considering the possibility of using an opener in front of him. Montas has struggled since returning from a lat strain, posting a 6.68 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over seven starts this season, having not completed six innings in any outing. He has expressed willingness to do whatever is needed by the team.
