Kolby Allard - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

JULY 18, 2023 • AJC.COM

Placed on 60-day IL Atlanta placed Allard on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to July 17, with left shoulder nerve inflammation.

Impact Allard made an early exit from his start Sunday against the White Sox due to left shoulder tightness and will now be sidelined through at least the middle of September, if not the full remainder of the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old southpaw had allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits and four walks through 12.1 major-league innings this season with Atlanta.

Removed with shoulder tightness Allard left Sunday's game against the White Sox with left shoulder tightness.

Impact Chicago added insult to injury in the form of four runs on seven hits, including a mammoth 461-foot shot off the bat of Jake Burger. Allard retired just five of the 12 batters he faced. His availability for his next start is up in the air. Allard probably isn't long for the rotation anyway with Max Fried (forearm) nearing a return.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with apparent injury Allard left Sunday's game against the White Sox in the second inning after chatting briefly with a team trainer, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allard did not have it Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk while recording just five outs. It seems an injury was in play, leaving Allard's availability for his next start up in the air. His ugly outing raised his ERA to 6.57 through 12.1 big-league innings this season.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes five innings in no-decision Allard gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Tuesday.

Impact Allard threw 73 pitches (45 strikes) and left in line for the win until Kirby Yates struggled in the seventh inning to surrender Atlanta's lead. While it wasn't as sharp as his season debut versus the Twins, Allard has done well to keep baserunners down with a 0.93 WHIP over his first 9.2 innings of the campaign. He's posted an 11:2 K:BB as well. Allard is not expected to start again before the All-Star break, and he'll likely be at the back of the rotation to start the second half.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Receives another start Allard is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

Impact Allard will make his second straight turn through the rotation, filling the spot that previously belonged to rookie Jared Shuster, who was recently optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. After spending the first three months of the season on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a Grade 2 oblique strain, Allard was activated following two minor-league rehab starts and immediately impressed in his 2023 debut with the big club. Though he took a no-decision last week in his start versus the Twins, Allard struck out eight over 4.2 scoreless innings while allowing just four baserunners. He induced swings and misses on 14 of his 71 pitches, showing the sort of strikeout upside that belies his career 19.0 K% over 237.1 big-league innings. While Allard doesn't have much of a reliable track record to fall back on beyond his previous start, he could make for a decent streaming option Tuesday versus a weak Cleveland offense.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in spot start Allard did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three hits and one walk over 4.2 scoreless innings against the Twins. He struck out eight.

Impact Allard couldn't have asked for a better start, striking out the side in the first inning as Minnesota's hitters fell victim to his lethal four-seam fastball. The lefty struck out six of the first nine batters he faced and really only got into trouble in the fifth after surrendering a single and a walk to open the inning. However, he struck out the next two batters before being relieved by Kirby Yates and eventually taking the no-decision. Whether or not Allard sticks around in Atlanta's rotation remains to be seen, but he certainly made a strong case with Wednesday's scoreless outing.

Activated ahead of start vs. Twins Allard (oblique) was activated from the 60-day injured list in advance of his start Wednesday against the Twins.

Impact It's a pretty solid home matchup for Allard, as the Twins lead the majors in strikeout rate (26.9 percent). Allard, who was originally drafted by Atlanta with the No. 14 overall pick in 2015, will be making his first start for the team since 2018, after spending four years with the Rangers. He had a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 6.2 innings across two rehab starts.
