Kolby Allard Stats

The Atlanta Braves acquired left-hander Kolby Allard from the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Jake Odorizzi and cash considerations. Allard returns to Atlanta after they took him in the first round of the 2015 draft. The 25-year-old southpaw made only 10 relief appearances for Texas in 2022 and had a rough 7.29 ERA (7.87 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, one save and 19 strikeouts in his 21 innings pitched. As a starter in the minors, he was a bit better with a 4.65 ERA in 89 innings over 20 starts. Allard pitched in 32 games (17 starts) and had a 5.41 ERA (5.37 FIP) with a 1.27 WHIP and 104 strikeouts in a career-high 124 2/3 innings. It's unclear if the Braves have plans on returning him to a starting role in the big leagues.

The Texas Rangers have activated right-handed pitcher Matt Bush (forearm) from the 15-day injured list. Left-handed pitcher Kolby Allard was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Bush was on the injured list for a little over two weeks with right forearm soreness. The 36-year-old has primarily been used as a setup man this year, but he's also made three starts as an opener. Over 30 total appearances, he's pitched to a 4.05 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP while compiling a 2-1 record, eight holds and one save.

The Texas Rangers recalled pitcher Kolby Allard from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. He was demoted to minors in mid-June after struggling with a 5.06 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 12:3 K: BB over 16 innings with the Rangers. Since being demoted, the 24-year-old has been solid in the minors, allowing three earned runs while striking out 14 over his last 9 1/3 innings. If Allard can carry this momentum into the big leagues, the southpaw could be a potential streaming option in deep-league formats if he can crack the rotation. John King was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
