The 22-year-old righty split time between the Single-A and High-A levels in the Red Sox and Brewers organizations in 2023, logging a collective 2.82 ERA and 75:20 K:BB in 67 innings over his 15 starts.

Nick Allen - Sees specialist FridayAllen (back) saw a specialist in Arizona on Friday and remains without a firm timetable for a return to game action, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ImpactThe young shortstop last saw Cactus League action March 1 due to what has been described as a mild back strain.
