  "account": "Detroit Tigers announced that starting pitcher Keider Montero will skip at least one rotation turn as he recovers from his last start. Reliever Brant Hurter is being taken off a rehab assignment to focus on improving his mechanics. Montero missed a bullpen session following his start, which likely pushes his next appearance to next weekend during the Los Angeles Dodgers' visit. Manager A.J. Hinch stated the team is being cautious with the late-season roster. Hurter had been on rehab assignment since late May dealing with lumbar spine inflammation, and was five appearances deep before being pulled from the assignment.",
