Mets' Rafael Montero: Earns Opening Day bullpen role

Montero has made the Mets' Opening Day roster as a reliever, Adam Rubin of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Montero pitched better than just about anybody at Mets camp this spring, posting a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings. He'll likely serve in low-leverage situations to begin the 2017 campaign.
