Cody Allen News
Free-agent relief pitcher Cody Allen drew some interest on the open market but has decided to retire from Major League Baseball. The 32-year-old compiled 153 career saves, with all but four of them coming for the Cleveland Indians. The right-hander was the ninth-inning man for Cleveland's 2016 World Series team, pitching in four World Series games while allowing no runs and striking out 12 in six innings. Allen pitched with the Tribe for seven seasons before joining the Los Angeles Angels for one season in 2019. He did not pitch in 2020. Allen will finish his eight-year career with a 3.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 593 strikeouts, 193 walks and 153 saves in 463 2/3 innings over 481 appearances, all in relief.
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Cody Allen (forearm), who had some minor arm issues this spring before baseball was shut down due to COVID-19, has been feeling good and has been throwing at Globe Life Field during the pandemic. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go if the MLB season kicks off in July, but the right-handed reliever's injury didn't sound too serious to begin with. Jose Leclerc should be the team's primary closer, with Rafael Montero also being a candidate for ninth-inning duties. Allen has plenty of closing experience with 153 career saves, but he posted a 6.26 ERA in 25 games with the Angels last year before being released. He's just hoping to win a bullpen job whenever the season starts, so Allen is off the fantasy radar currently.
Texas Rangers reliever Cody Allen gave up two runs and two hits in one inning of relief on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. He has an 11.25 ERA through four innings this spring, and it's not what Allen or the Rangers were hoping for when they invited him to camp. The nine-year veteran battled forearm and elbow stiffness earlier this spring and did not throw for a week. He made two scoreless appearances before Wednesday's disappointment, and he is still in the mix to make the Opening Day roster. Jose Leclerc seems locked in as the reliever to own in the Rangers bullpen, but, if something were to happen to Leclerc, Allen could be next in line, given his extensive experience as a ninth-inning man.
