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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Allard managed to keep the Diamondbacks off the board through the first four innings, allowing just three singles before surrendering a solo homer to Eugenio Suarez with one out in the fifth. The 26-year-old lefty would 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 held opponents to three or fewer runs in each of his two starts and holds a 8:2 K:BB as he plugs a hole in the Phillies' rotation while Ranger Suarez (back) and Taijuan Walker (finger) are sidelined.

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Allard came away a 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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Phillies recalled Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ranger Suarez (back) now on the injured list, the Phillies will call upon Allard to fill the opening on the roster and in the rotation. The 26-year-old southpaw has made 16 appearances (10 starts) for Lehigh Valley this season, posting a 5.23 ERA and 1.61 WHIP through 63.2 innings.

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

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old joined the Phillies on a one-year, $1 million contract in January, but he'll unsurprisingly begin the campaign at Lehigh Valley since he still has a minor-league option. Allard missed the second half of last season due to left shoulder nerve irritation and made just six appearances between the majors and Triple-A.

Allard signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allard, 26, didn't pitch after mid-July last season because of left shoulder nerve inflammation, although he presumably was given a clean bill of health prior to inking his deal with Philadelphia. The left-hander has posted a career 6.10 ERA over 69 appearances (38 starts) at the major-league level, accumulating a 204:84 K:BB across 245 innings. He does have an option remaining, so Allard could begin 2024 at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Allard was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He didn't pitch after July 16 due to left shoulder nerve inflammation. Allard was limited to 19 total innings between Triple-A and the majors in 2023. He has a career 6.10 ERA in 245 MLB innings.

Atlanta placed Allard on the 60-day injured list Tuesday with left shoulder nerve inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

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.
