The Mets have promoted pitching prospect Rafael Montero from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Montero made a spot start for Las Vegas last month but was then sent back down. Ranked before the season by Baseball America as the Mets' No. 5 prospect, Montero has had a superb year, posting a 2.45 ERA and 77/11 K/BB ratio across 73 1/3 innings. The 22-year-old could possibly push for a late-season call-up. Jun 14 - 11:12 AM

Rafael Montero - S - Mets

Mets prospect right-hander Rafael Montero has returned to Double-A Binghamton following a spot-start with Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

It wasn't about Montero's performance, as he allowed two runs on four hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings while striking out five. The 22-year-old right-hander should get a legitimate chance in the Triple-A rotation before long and could be a consideration for a cup of coffee with the big club in September.

Rafael Montero - S - Mets

Mets prospect Rafael Montero has been promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas.

It's just a spot start for Montero, who has a 3.47 ERA with Double-A Binghamton. The Mets will him send back down immediately, but it's likely only a matter of time before he's officially added to the Triple-A rotation. Montero, 22, is viewed as more major league ready than higher ceiling prospects Domingo Tapia and Luis Mateo.

Rafael Montero - S - Mets

Mets reassigned RHPs Rafael Montero, Cory Mazzoni, and C Juan Centeno to minor league camp.

No surprises here. Montero and Mazzoni impressed this spring and could make their debuts in 2013 as September callups. The Mets now have 55 players in major league camp.

Montero, 22, posted a 2.36 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 110/19 K/BB ratio across 122 innings last season between two different level of Single-A. He could climb quickly through the farm system and arrive in the majors in 2014.
