Allen picked up the save Tuesday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over three scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks only needed to use two arms during Tuesday's 14-1 rout, with Allen taking over for starter Tommy Henry in the seventh and closing out the game. The save was Allen's first of his five-year MLB career (34 appearances) and the outing marked his second appearance with the D-Backs this season.

Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday to serve as a long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered to begin the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow the inning before. Allen allowed all three hits and his lone run in that inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple-A Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and he kept Arizona in the game before departing with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter.

The Diamondbacks selected Allen's contract from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Arizona is in need of bullpen reinforcements following Tuesday's extra-innings victory over the Cubs. Allen has yielded four earned runs with a 9:3 K:BB over 12 innings with Reno this season and should be able to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen when needed.

Allen signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday and received an invitation to major-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent all of last season in Triple-A, where he posted a 5.77 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 103 innings between the Rockies' and Mariners' affiliates. He'll have a chance to make the Diamondbacks' bullpen during spring training, but Allen will most likely begin 2024 with Triple-A Reno.

Allen was released by the Rockies on Sunday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen joined the Rockies on a minor-league deal last August but didn't join the major-league club during his tenure with the organization. The 26-year-old posted a 7.20 ERA and 20.9 WHIP in 45 innings over 24 relief appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque to begin the year and will now attempt to seek out other opportunities.

Allen has submitted a 6.87 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings through nine appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

EDGE Analysis

Though he made six starts for Albuquerque in 2022 after signing a minor-league deal with the Rockies last August, Allen has worked in a full-time relief role thus far in 2023. With big-league rotation members German Marquez (elbow) and Noah Davis (elbow) recently moving to the injured list, however, the Rockies have been forced to dip into their pitching depth at the Triple-A level. With that in mind, it's possible Allen gets stretched out at Albuquerque and ends up entering the Triple-A rotation at some point, but his unremarkable results in relief thus far in addition to his lack of a 40-man roster spot will work against him in his hopes of resurfacing in the majors.

Allen was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Rockies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen really struggled over five Cactus League appearances with a 12.71 ERA and 2.65 WHIP in 5.2 innings of work. The left-hander will provide depth while all but assuredly opening the 2023 season with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Allen signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen reported to Triple-A Albuquerque and made his debut for the affiliate Sunday, when he struck out two and allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk over three innings. The Rockies mark the third organization of the season for Allen, who began the campaign as a member of the Guardians before he was waived and claimed by the Orioles, who released him earlier this month. For the season, Allen owns an 8.56 ERA in 27.1 innings at the Triple-A level.

The Orioles released Allen on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After being cast off the 40-man roster in May, Allen stuck in the Baltimore organization and had since been working in a relief role at Triple-A Norfolk. The 25-year-old didn't find much success in that capacity and will now look for work elsewhere after compiling an 8.51 ERA and 2.03 WHIP across 24.1 innings at Triple-A.

Allen cleared waivers Friday and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles claimed Allen off waivers from the Guardians in early May, but he spent less than two weeks on the roster before being designated for assignment yet again. No one else wanted him this time around, so he'll remain as organizational depth for Baltimore.
