The Phillies recalled Allard from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his start Saturday against the Mets.
Through four appearances (three starts) in the majors this season, Allard has posted a 3.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 18 innings, and he'll now be asked to fill the fifth spot in Philadelphia's rotation following the departure of Seth Johnson from the active roster earlier this week. The 27-year-old Allard will match up against a Mets offense that owns the 10th-best OPS in the majors.
