Kolby Allard Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Kolby Allard will start Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies in what could be a bullpen game for the Guards. Allard has averaged just under two innings per appearance, having taken the ball 21 times and totaled 41 1/3 frames. This has been a career season for the 27-year-old, who has registered a 2.83 ERA with 23 strikeouts and just 10 walks. Allard may not stay in long against the Rockies, but this does look like a favorable matchup for him. Colorado ranks 29th in the majors in runs scored and has hit a terrible .226/.286/.371 against lefties.

Cleveland left-hander Kolby Allard has been great as a length option out of the team's bullpen this season, and manager Stephen Vogt said "he's definitely an option" to enter the starting rotation with right-hander Ben Lively (forearm) going on the injured list on Tuesday. Allard, who has a sharp 1.20 ERA in 15 innings over five appearances in 2025, could make his first start of the year as early as this Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. The 27-year-old southpaw threw a season-high 64 pitches in six innings of relief on April 26 against the Boston Red Sox, so he's definitely built up enough to be worth streaming consideration in fantasy. He threw 53 pitches over four innings on May 3 against the Toronto Blue Jays as well. MLB.com's Tim Stebbins also mentions prospect Doug Nikhazy and rehabbing right-hander Slade Cecconi (oblique) as options, but Allard feels like the best bet, at least this weekend.

According to the team, the Cleveland Guardians have signed left-handed pitcher Kolby Allard to a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training. The 27-year-old logged 27 innings with the Phillies last season and held a 5.00 ERA with a 1.56 WHIP. He struck out just 19.7 percent of the batters he faced. He showed solid command as he posted a 6.8 percent walk rate. In 82 innings of work with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the southpaw held a 5.38 ERA with a 1.61 WHIP. Across 272 career innings in the majors, Allard has posted a 5.99 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. Fantasy managers should expect Allard to compete for a depth spot in the Cleveland rotation or bullpen, but he will likely open the season at the Triple-A level, given his struggles in the majors last season.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Kolby Allard will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to rejoin the team's starting rotation on Saturday to take on the division-rival New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park. Allard will take over for Seth Johnson after his bad outing against the Miami Marlins last Sunday. The 27-year-old southpaw will be making his first start for the Phillies since Aug. 25, when he gave up two earned runs while walking none and striking out five over five innings for a win over the Kansas City Royals. He has only made four appearances (three starts) in the big leagues for the Phils in 2024 but has been decent with a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched. The Mets present a tough challenge for Allard as they seek a wild-card spot in the National League. They rank 10th in baseball with a .737 OPS, making Allard a shaky deep-league streaming option on Saturday.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kolby Allard is being promoted from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make a spot start in Sunday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals. Allard has made three starts at the major league level this summer and has held a 3.46 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP across 13 innings of work. At Triple-A this summer, Allard has posted a disappointing 5.75 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. If he performs well this afternoon, Allard could be in line to receive a handful of starts over the next few weeks. DFS players should fade Allard this afternoon as the Royals hold a strong 18.3 K rate against southpaws this summer.

The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent left-hander Kolby Allard on Tuesday. Allard will remain in the National League East after returning to the Atlanta Braves for the 2023 season. He only made four appearances (three starts) for the Braves and allowed nine earned runs with four walks and 13 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings pitched at the big-league level. The 26-year-old southpaw didn't make his season debut until mid-July due to nerve inflammation in his left shoulder. Allard will give the Phillies some starting-pitching depth entering the 2024 campaign and has an option remaining, so he could open the year at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He's been pretty inconsistent in 245 career innings in the majors over six seasons, posting a 6.10 ERA (5.31 FIP) and 1.43 WHIP with 204 strikeouts and 84 walks in 69 outings (38 starts).

The Atlanta Braves placed left-hander Kolby Allard (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list (retroactive to July 17) with left-shoulder nerve inflammation on Tuesday and selected the contract of outfielder Forrest Wall from the minors in a corresponding move. Allard's injured-list placement comes after he left his start on Sunday early against the Chicago White Sox. There's now a chance that the 25-year-old southpaw won't pitch again for the Braves for the rest of the season. It's been a frustrating year for Allard, as he's posted a 6.57 ERA (4.26 FIP), 1.62 WHIP, four walks and 13 strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings over four appearances (three starts) in his first year in Atlanta. Fantasy managers that have Allard rostered in deeper redraft leagues should probably dump him now.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard (shoulder) exited Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 25-year-old was on the bump for only 1 2/3 innings, allowing four runs before he departed because of tightness in his left shoulder. Injuries like this are never good, meaning he might find his way to the injured list. However, he'll probably undergo testing soon to determine the cause. At any rate, Allard has a 4.22 ERA and an 0-1 record in three starts this season, so it wouldn't be a significant loss for fantasy managers if he misses time.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard (oblique) won't be ready for Opening Day. The left-hander has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain on Thursday. That being said, Allard is going to begin the season on the injured list. There was a chance that Allard would make the Opening Day roster. Both Kyle Wright (shoulder) and Michael Soroka (hamstring) are dealing with injuries, so Allard had a chance at cracking the roster. Allard should join the MLB roster at some point this season, but isn't someone worth holding in fantasy leagues right now.

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.
