The Guardians selected Allard's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In four starts at Columbus, Allard has turned in a 4.86 ERA and 1.30 WHIP alongside a 13:5 K:BB over 16.2 innings. He'll now join the big-league squad to fill a multi-inning relief role and take the 40-man roster spot of Erik Sabrowski (elbow), who was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Guardians signed Allard to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Allard made four starts and three relief appearances for the Phillies in 2024, producing a 5.00 ERA and 23:8 K:BB over 27 innings. 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.

The Phillies outrighted Allard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Allard, 27, held a 5.00 ERA over four starts and three relief appearances with Philadelphia this season.

Allard did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Mets, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over three innings.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Phillies recalled Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia will use the left-hander as a spot starter since the team's next scheduled off day isn't until Sept. 2. Allard has a 3.46 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 13 big-league innings this season, and he allowed five runs over four frames in his previous outing with Lehigh Valley last Sunday.

The Phillies will call up Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's game against the Royals, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allard will draw the starting nod Sunday to give the Phillies' starters an extra day of rest. The 26-year-old has appeared in three games for Philadelphia this season, logging a 3.46 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP with eight strikeouts across 13 innings. He'll likely return to Lehigh Valley after the game.
