Kolby Allard Records Fourth Straight Quality Start
4 years agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard was able to hold his own against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. He went six innings, four hits allowed, three earned runs, three walks, and five strikeouts in the 8-4 loss. Allard did allow a pair of home runs in the game, which seems to be a common theme for him. Despite that, he was able to earn his fourth straight quality start on Monday. He won't be an ideal streaming option against the Houston Astros in his next start.

Kolby Allard To Face The Mets On Saturday
6 months agoPhiladelphia 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.

Kolby Allard Getting Starting Nod On Sunday
7 months agoPhiladelphia 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.

Phillies Agree To Terms With Kolby Allard
1 year agoThe 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).

Braves Put Kolby Allard On 60-Day Injured List
2 years agoThe 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.
