Gets no help in solid outing Allard (1-2) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings as the Rangers fell 3-0 to the Rays. He struck out six.

Impact The young southpaw put together a strong performance, tossing 48 of 79 pitches for strikes, but a lack of support stuck Allard with the loss after Tampa Bay jumped on him for two runs in the first inning. He likely did more than enough to stay in the rotation for now, and Allard will take a 3.41 ERA and 33:8 K:BB through 29 innings into his next outing.

Earns rotation spot Allard is joining the starting rotation and will start Saturday against the Rays, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The 23-year-old replaces fellow southpaw Hyeon-jong Yang in the rotation after Yang recorded another short, unimpressive start May 30. Allard made a spot start May 27, yielding two runs (both on homers) in four innings. He struggled as a starter in 2020, posting an 8.80 ERA in eight outings.

Sticking in bullpen Allard is likely heading back to the bullpen after making a spot start Thursday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers have a quirky schedule coming coming up with multiple off-days and can skip a fifth starter. During that stretch in the schedule, it's expected that Kyle Gibson (groin) will return, an event that would move Allard back to the bullpen.

MAY 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Loses first start Allard (1-1) took the loss Thursday against Seattle, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk with four strikeouts in a 5-0 defeat.

Impact Making a spot start for the injured Kyle Gibson, Allard made two mistakes in surrendering back-to-back solo home runs to Tom Murphy and Jacob Nottingham but pitched well otherwise. He'd only seen relief work prior to Thursday and the four innings were his most of any appearance this season. Allard's current 3.38 ERA would be the best of his four-year career if it holds.

Starting Thursday Allard will start Thursday's game at Seattle.

Impact The 23-year-old will make a spot start in Thursday's series opener with Kyle Gibson (groin) on the injured list. Allard has regularly thrown 40-50 pitches as a reliever this season, so he should be able to cover around four innings, depending on his efficiency. He may only make the one start with Gibson not expected to face a lengthy absence.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

May make spot start Manager Chris Woodward said Allard is the likely candidate to make a spot start in place of Kyle Gibson (groin), Sam Blum of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Allard is working as a reliever this season, but he's poised for a spot start with Kyle Gibson on the injured list. Allard has a 3.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 20 innings this season. The left-hander regularly pitches multiple innings and covered three frames on two separate occasions, though he's unlikely to have a full starter's workload.

MAY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first win Allard (1-0) picked up his first win of the season Saturday against Houston. He walked one and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Allard was the pitcher of record when the Rangers plated five runs in the seventh inning to grab the lead. He came on for Hunter Wood, who left the game with two outs in the sixth inning due to elbow tightness. This was the eighth straight appearance in which Allard threw multiple innings. He's been used as a piggyback reliever for starters that are, by design, not being asked to go deep into games and will continue in that same vein. The left-hander has experience as a starter and could work his way into the rotation at some point. Allard has a 3.15 ERA with 23 strikeouts and six walks over 20 innings.

Follows Dunning Allard allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

Impact This was the second straight time that Allard has entered a game following starter Dane Dunning. The Rangers had been using Taylor Hearn as the left-handed complement to Dunning in what has been and will continue to be a tandem spot in the rotation. Texas does not want Dunning throwing too many innings over the course of the season. Allard has been a pleasant surprise thus far, allowing two earned runs, walking one and striking out 15 over 10 innings (five appearances). He was a minor-league starter and made 18 starts in MLB prior to 2021, so there could be an opportunity for Allard to enter the rotation at some point.

Logs innings Friday Allard allowed one run on four hits and struck out two over 2.1 innings in Friday's 9-7 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Allard entered for starter Dane Dunning, who was chased by his former team after allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. The Rangers want to manage Dunning's innings and have paired him with a long reliever in a tandem situation, and this was the first time Allard pitched with him. Typically, the starter lasts longer than 2.2 innings. Taylor Hearn had been paired with Dunning while Wes Benjamin also filled a similar role with Jordan Lyles, but Allard has been the best of the lot early on and should operate as a multi-inning reliever for whichever starter needs assistance. The left-hander sports a 2.45 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and zero walks over 7.1 innings.

APRIL 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could pitch in tandem with Lyles Texas manager Chris Woodward said Allard could replace Wes Benjamin as the tandem starter paired with Jordan Lyles, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers optioned Benjamin on Saturday after he served as a tandem starter behind Lyles to open the season. Lyles has pitched into the sixth inning in two of three starts, so he's not far from being a traditional starter. It's unclear how much Allard would need to pitch when it's Lyles' turn -- Benjamin threw 5.2 innings over three tandem appearances. The left-handed Allard was barely used over the first 11 days of the season but has been perfect in two outings this past week, fanning eight over four innings.

APRIL 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on roster Allard retained his bullpen job after the Rangers optioned Wes Benjamin to the alternate camp.

Impact Allard's spot on the roster was in jeopardy as the Rangers prepared to make room for both Willie Calhoun and Joely Rodriguez, but the team opted to send Benjamin down instead. Both are lefties who can pitch multiple innings, so having them rostered was redundant. Benjamin was serving as a tandem starter, but he struggled to throw strikes. Meanwhile, Allard had two dominant back-to-back outings this past week, which likely played a role in the team's decision.
