The Guardians signed Kolby Allard to a minor league contract.

Kolby Allard had a rough outing on Saturday, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over three innings as the Phillies edged out the Mets 6-4.

Fantasy Impact

This performance somewhat tarnishes what has been an inconsistent season for Allard, who now holds a 4.29 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP through five starts. His inability to pitch deep into games coupled with a high WHIP and an ERA that suggests vulnerability does not bode well for fantasy managers looking for reliability. While his 6.9 K/9 indicates some ability to generate strikeouts, the high BABIP and FIP point to potential ongoing struggles. Fantasy managers should consider Allard a risky play, best suited for matchups against weaker offenses or as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

The Phillies are expected to recall Kolby Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

The team will use Allard to fill their vacant fifth spot in the rotation in a spot start against the Mets. Allard has a 3.50 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP in four games with the team this season.
