Montero (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday's tilt against Miami, Carrie Muskat of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montero left Wednesday's game early with a knee injury but passed tests later and is "fine" according to manager Joe Maddon. However, given the Cubs have indicated that Willson Contreras will get the majority of catching starts going forward, Montero is likely to see a diminished role. The 32-year-old is 6-for-39 (.154) this month, lowering his season line to .197/.312/.316.
