Fantasy Impact: A former first-round pick by the Braves in the 2015 MLB Draft, Allard enjoyed his best big league season with Cleveland last year. The veteran lefthander appeared in a career-high 33 games and pitched to a 2.63 ERA in 65 innings. Allard has pitched parts of eight seasons in the majors and is 13-26 with a 5.34 ERA in 337 innings. Even if he doesn't break camp with Cleveland as a low-leverage reliever, Allard will likely appear with the Guardians at some point in 2026.
