Rafael Montero is growing closer to returning to the Mets, as he continues to work his way back from his DL stint for rotator cuff inflammation.

The right-hander threw three shutout innings in his second minor-league rehab start for the Gulf Coast Mets on Monday. He allowed three hits, struck out four and did not walk a batter.

Montero, who has been on the DL since April 29, has an ERA of 4.14, averaging more than a strikeout per inning in 15 career big league appearances.
