The 25-year-old southpaw was hit hard in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season, giving up six runs on five hits over his three innings of work. He’ll provide length out of the team’s bullpen with Joey Cantillo starting in place of Luis Ortiz on Thursday evening.

The Guardians needed to clear a spot on their active roster for some fresh arms that can cover multiple innings on Thursday and unfortunately Allard was the odd man out this time around. The 27-year-old left-hander posted a 2.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 16/8 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings in 16 appearances with the Guardians. Given the overall lack of quality pitching depth around the league, he could attract interest on waivers.

The 25-year-old left-hander will start in place of Luis Ortiz on Thursday after the right-hander was placed on the restricted list. Cantillo has done a decent job out of the Guardians’ bullpen this season — posting a 3.81 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 36/14 K/BB ratio over 28 1/3 innings — before he was sent down at the end of May to get stretched back out as a starter. It’s unclear how many innings he’ll handle against the Cubs on Thursday but Doug Nikhazy was promoted as well to add some length to the Guardians’ bullpen.

According to Passan, those pitches were made June 15 and June 27 and both pitches were well outside of the strike zone to open innings. The assumption being that Ortiz could have thrown those pitches outside the strike zone on purpose, as first pitch strike/ball to open an inning could be a “prop” on various websites. The 26-year-old right-hander was placed on non disciplinary leave while being investigated.
