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

EDGE Analysis

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.
