LOGAN ALLEN NEWS

Returned to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact Allen joined the 26-man roster to make a spot start during Monday's doubleheader against Kansas City, where he allowed five runs in five innings. He'll be replaced by Anthony Gose on the active roster, who'll provide some bullpen depth. The left-handed Allen has a 5.73 ERA in 97.1 innings with Cleveland this season.

Hit hard in spot start Allen (8-5) took the loss in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, coughing up five runs on eight hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out one.

Impact Called up to make a spot start in the twin bill, Allen tossed only 43 of 76 pitches for strikes, and when he did get the ball over the plate, Kansas City hitters tended to hit it hard -- four of the eight hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including solo homers by Paul DeJong in the second inning and Salvador Perez in the fifth. The Guardians are still looking for a reliable fifth starter with Alex Cobb (finger) sidelined, but Allen doesn't appear to be a solution given his 5.73 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 2.03 HR/9 over 97.1 big-league innings this season.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled ahead of start The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

Impact Allen will start the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals. It could be just a spot start, as Alex Cobb (fingernail) looks to have a good shot to be back in time for his next turn. Allen holds a 5.56 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 78:37 K:BB across 92.1 innings with the big club this season.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Set to pitch Monday Allen will be called up to pitch in Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cleveland hasn't officially announced its starters for the twin bill, but Allen and Joey Cantillo appear set to start in some order. Allen has made 19 starts for the Guardians this season and has a 5.56 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 78:37 K:BB across 92.1 innings.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Impact Allen was solid in a spot start Monday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs over five innings. With Allen heading back to the minors, it would seem the Guardians feel good about Tanner Bibee's (shoulder) chances of being ready to make a start later this week.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two runs in no-decision Allen did not factor into the decision on Monday's 7-6 loss versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings.

Impact Allen was recalled to make his first start since July 6 after struggling to a 5.67 ERA in his first 18 starts, barely making it out of the first inning on Monday. He gave up back-to-back home runs to the first two hitters he faced and then loaded the bases before barely escaping the opening frame. Allen went on to get through the next four inning unscathed, which makes his final line seem better than it actually was, but he's tough to trust should he get another turn in the rotation.

Guardians lose to Arizona, 7-6 in 10 innings; Logan Allen escapes first-inning injury The Guardians bullpen fails to hold two leads before losing to the Diamondbacks.

AUGUST 6 • CLEVELAND.COM

Called up to start Monday The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Tanner Bibee still needs more time off to move past a shoulder injury, so the Guardians will bring back Allen to make his first start for the big club since July 6. After a solid rookie campaign in 2023, Allen turned in a 5.67 ERA over 18 starts this season before the Guardians sent the struggling lefty to the minors. Though he's rebounded over his three starts at Triple-A with a 3.86 ERA, Allen has given up three long balls while turning in an underwhelming 12:7 K:BB in 16.1 innings. Since Allen doesn't seem to have completely righted the ship during his time in the minors, he's tough to rely on as a streaming option against an Arizona lineup that has produced a 117 wRC+ versus lefties this season.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Looks set to rejoin big club Monday The Guardians are expected to recall Allen from Triple-A Columbus and have him start Monday against the Diamondbacks in Cleveland, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact With Tanner Bibee (shoulder) considered day-to-day and Alex Cobb (hip) not yet ready to return from the injured list, the Guardians are likely to turn to Allen to fill the open spot in their rotation Monday. Allen turned in a 5.67 ERA over his 18 starts with Cleveland before being demoted to Triple-A last month, and though he's posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over his three starts with Columbus, his peripheral statistics (7.5 K-BB%,1.65 HR/9) have been underwhelming. If he does in fact get called up to start Monday for Cleveland, Allen won't be guaranteed any additional turns through the big-league rotation.

AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE

Sent out to Triple-A The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Allen is the second member of the Guardians' Opening Day rotation to be sent to Columbus within a week, as Triston McKenzie was previously dispatched to the minors last Sunday. Though he's stayed healthy all season, Allen has struggled mightily to build on a solid 2023 rookie campaign, as he's turned in a 5.67 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 76:35 K:BB across 87.1 innings through 18 starts. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to newly acquired right-hander Spencer Howard, who could end up entering the rotation the next time Allen's turn comes up Thursday in Detroit.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Inefficient in no-decision Allen allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Allen failed to make it out of the fifth inning for the third start in a row. He matched his season high with four walks, and the nine strikeouts were also a season high, but they combined to work his pitch count up quickly. Allen has allowed 11 runs over 11.2 innings across his last three starts and now has a 5.67 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 76:35 K:BB through 87.1 innings over 18 starts this year. He's projected to make his next start at Detroit.

Struggles in defeat Allen (8-4) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing three earned runs on six hits and zero walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Allen never found his footing in this one, surrendering runs in the first two frames before exiting in the fifth inning. This comes off the back of a brutal outing where he allowed three home runs and was pulled after just three innings. The 25-year-old has been an adequate source of wins thanks to the Cleveland offense, but he sports an ugly 5.75 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP and a 67:31 K:BB across 83 innings this season. The southpaw will look to bounce back in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend against the Giants.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Allows six runs in no-decision Allen did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Orioles, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk with five strikeouts over three innings.

Impact Allen surrendered at least one run in each inning he pitched, including three total home runs. He allowed back-to-back homers to open the fourth frame before being pulled at just 60 pitches. Allen had been off to a solid start in June, yielding six earned runs over 17 innings entering Tuesday, but this is now the third time this season he has been responsible for six or more earned runs in an outing. The young lefty owns a 5.72 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB over 78.2 innings in 2024 and lines up to face the Royals this weekend.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Guardians-Royals postponed Allen and the Guardians won't play the Royals on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Cleveland.

Impact The Royals and Guardians will make up the postponed game as part of a split doubleheader Aug. 26. Allen had been expected to work behind opening pitcher Nick Sandlin on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll be pushed back a day to pitch in some capacity in Thursday's series finale with Kansas City, or if his turn through the rotation will be skipped entirely.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Lit up for seven runs Allen (6-3) took the loss against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 1.2 innings while striking out one.

Impact Allen gave up one run on an infield single in the opening frame before getting obliterated in the second inning, beginning with a single from Elehuris Montero and ending with an RBI double from Elias Diaz. The lefty was then relieved by Eli Morgan with just two outs in the frame, marking his shortest outing of the season. It was actually Allen's second time this month in which he allowed seven runs in a start, while the loss also snapped a streak of three consecutive wins for the second-year pitcher.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Rough night in no-decision Allen did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact It was a brutal night for Allen, with four of Detroit's runs coming on a pair of Andy Ibanez home runs in the first two innings. However, he was spared a third straight loss, as Cleveland answered the Tigers' four-run second inning with five runs in the bottom of the frame. It's been a tough start to Allen's sophomore campaign -- he's 3-2 with a 6.41 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB through 39.1 innings. He's already given up nine home runs after surrendering 16 in 24 starts last season. Allen will look to turn things around in his next outing, currently lined up for Sunday versus the White Sox.
