The NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization signed Allen to a one-year, $1 million contract Tuesday, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen, 27, holds a career 5.79 ERA in 45 appearances (15 starts) covering parts of five seasons at the big-league level. He'll receive a nice little raise as he applies his trade overseas.

Allen re-signed with the Diamondbacks on Sunday on a minor-league contract.

EDGE Analysis

Allen had elected free agency Thursday after clearing waivers, but just three days later, he opted to rejoin the Arizona organization and reported to Triple-A Reno. He was put to work right away Sunday in Reno's 10-6 win over Sacramento, starting and covering three innings while giving up two earned runs on four hits and two walks. Allen had been used exclusively in relief in his 12 appearances for Arizona prior to being moved off the 40-man roster, posting a 5.46 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 28 innings.

The Diamondbacks outrighted Allen to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was removed from Arizona's 40-man roster earlier this week, but he has since cleared waivers and will remain in the organization as pitching depth. The lefty has been used in long relief during his time with the Diamondbacks this season.

Allen was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old surrendered six runs in one inning during Saturday's game against the Padres, and he's now been removed from the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Allen had a 3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 27 innings this season prior to Saturday's implosion, so he could generate some interest on the waiver wire.

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.
