In 82 frames with Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, he held a 5.38 ERA and 74:34 K:BB. Allard will compete for an Opening Day roster spot but is likely headed to Triple-A Columbus where he'll provide rotation depth.

Impact In his first start with the Phillies since Aug. 25, Allard threw just 37 of 67 pitches for strikes and departed with a 4-0 deficit. The southpaw owns a 4.29 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across five major-league appearances this season while not exceeding five innings in any of them. He is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Mets next week, but that could change as the fifth spot in the Phillies' rotation has been a revolving door of late.

Recalled ahead of start The Phillies recalled Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his start Saturday against the Mets.

Impact Through four appearances (three starts) in the majors this season, Allard has posted a 3.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 18 innings, and he'll now be asked to fill the fifth spot in Philadelphia's rotation following the departure of Seth Johnson from the active roster earlier this week. The 27-year-old Allard will match up against a Mets offense that owns the 10th-best OPS in the majors.

In line to be called up Saturday The Phillies will call Allard up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start in Saturday's game against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Phillies will avoid skipping the No. 5 spot in their rotation by calling up Allard to provide a spot start Saturday, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Allard has won in each of his last two starts with the big club, and across four major-league outings this season (three starts), the 27-year-old southpaw holds a 2-0 record with a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 18 innings.

Returns to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Allard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Infielder Buddy Kennedy will join the Phillies' active roster as a replacement for Allard, who was summoned from Lehigh Valley to make a spot start Sunday. Allard scooped up a win while limiting the Royals to two runs over five innings, and he now owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 18 innings. Though he'll head back to the minors, Allard's solid performance at the big-league level this season likely puts him ahead of Tyler Phillips and Kyle Tyler for a promotion if a rotation spot with the Phillies opens up again at some point.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up win Sunday Allard (2-0) yielded two runs on eight hits over five innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Royals.

Impact Allard made his first MLB appearance since Aug. 8 and delivered his second straight win. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Bobby Witt and Maikel Garcia but was able to maneuver around the rest of the Royals lineup. Allard has looked solid in his minimal MLB usage this season, posting a 3.50 ERA with a 13:2 K:BB through 18 innings. The Phillies don't have a day off until Sep. 2 so Allard could stick around for another appearance before heading back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Allard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Allard made two starts and one bulk relief appearance, posting a 3.46 ERA and 8:2 K:BB over 13 innings. With Taijuan Walker (finger) poised to return next week, Allard wasn't going to be needed as a rotation fill-in anymore.

Solid showing in first win Allard (1-0) picked up the win over Arizona on Thursday, allowing one run on six hits over five innings while striking out three. He did not issue any walks.

Impact Allard managed to keep the Diamondbacks off the board through the first four innings, allowing just three singles over that stretch before surrendering a solo homer to Eugenio Suarez with one out in the fifth. The 26-year-old lefty would still end up making it through the frame to post his longest outing of the campaign, while also going on to secure his first win. Allard has now held his opponents to three or fewer runs in each of his two starts and now holds a 8:2 K:BB on the season.

Working in bulk relief Saturday Allard will serve as a bulk reliever behind opener Orion Kerkering during Saturday's game against the Mariners, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kerkering has recorded more than three outs just three times this year, so it's likely Allard will enter Saturday's game to begin the second inning. The 26-year-old southpaw surrendered three earned runs in four innings during his season debut Sunday while striking out one batter and walking none.

Getting another start this weekend Allard will make another start this weekend in Seattle, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allard allowed three earned runs with one strikeout over four innings in a start Sunday versus the Guardians. With Taijuan Walker (finger) not quite ready to return, Allard will be needed for one more start, which is likely to come either on Friday or Saturday.

Lackluster debut Allard came away with the no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Guardians, allowing three earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out one in four innings.

Impact Called up to fill Ranger Suarez's (back) rotation spot, Allard underwhelmed in his 2024 debut, inducing just three swinging strikes en route to one strikeout. The southpaw managed to make it through the first three frames unscathed before surrendering a three-run home run to Jhonkensy Noel in the fourth inning. With a career 6.10 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 245 innings, the 26-year-old Allard won't be a recommended fantasy option moving forward.
