• Guardians' Logan Allen: Loses battle for rotation spot

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2026

  The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. Allen surrendered 12 runs on 14 hits and two walks over just 2.1 innings during his Cactus League appearance Friday, which seemingly put the final nail in the coffin for his hopes of making the Opening Day rotation. Parker Messick will instead claim the final spot; meanwhile, Allen will aim to rebound in the minors and earn an in-season promotion.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Has night to forget

  Rotowire Mar 21, 2026

  Allen allowed 12 runs on 14 hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings in Friday's spring game against Seattle. After Allen emerged from a first-inning jam unharmed, his night went sideways. He was twice removed in the middle of innings only to return later, as allowed under spring rules. Allen's night was finally over in the fourth when he gave up two runs. The positives are four up-and-downs, 85 pitches thrown and that is wasn't a regular-season game. The left-hander finished the Cactus League on a sour note, having allowed 18 runs on 21 hits and five walks over his final five innings. Allen is part of the Guardians' projected starting rotation; however, it should be noted the team evaluated six potential starters this spring, and Allen's hold on a rotation spot could be tenuous.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Fits in one more start before WBC

  Rotowire Feb 28, 2026

  Allen allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two over three innings in Friday's spring start against the Cubs. Allen made his second Cactus League start and final one before he joins Team Panama in the World Baseball Classic. The left-hander upped his pitch count to 51 (34 strikes). "It felt really good," Allen told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. "Happy to get through three innings clean. Really feeling like I'm in a good spot. Everything's moving pretty good." The plan going forward is for Allen to stay on five-day routine while with Panama and build up his pitch count as a pitcher normally would in spring training.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Works spring opener

  Rotowire Feb 22, 2026

  Allen allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings in Saturday's spring start against the Reds. Allen kicked off his quest to claim one of three available spots in the Guardians rotation. The left-hander worked around a double and a walk in the first inning before leaving after 32 pitches (19 strikes) in the Cactus League opener. This might be Allen's only spring start before he departs camp to join Panama for the World Baseball Classic. Beyond locks Tanner Bibee and Gavin Williams, Cleveland will evaluate Allen, Joey Cantillo, Slade Cecconi and Parker Messick this spring in the battle to round out the rotation.

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2025

  Allen took a no-decision in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning victory over the Rangers, conceding four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Allen slogged through the second half, pitching to a 4.59 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB in 66.2 innings after the All-Star break.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Drawing start in crucial finale

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2025

  Allen will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rangers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Allen will toe the rubber for Cleveland with an opportunity for the team to win the AL Central on Sunday with a victory. The southpaw has posted an impressive 2.00 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 18 innings in three starts in September. With Allen on the mound Sunday, Gavin Williams is expected to take the ball for Game 1 of the Guardians' wild-card series Tuesday.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Limits Royals in no-decision

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2025

  Allen didn't factor into the decision against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings. While Allen had hiccups in the first and third innings, he was near perfect otherwise, facing the minimum number of batters over his remaining three frames. The 27-year-old logged at least five innings for the 16th time in his last 17 starts. The right-hander came into the outing with a 5.87 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 19 walks across his previous six starts (30.2 innings), and while Wednesday's line was cleaner, he continued to struggle with limiting baserunners. Allen remains tough to trust in most fantasy formats, offering little more than streaming value when in the right matchup.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans four in 11th loss

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2025

  Allen (7-11) took the loss Thursday against the Rays, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out four. Allen was able to keep a hot Rays lineup in check, and one of his runs went unearned due to a Gabriel Arias throwing error in the first inning. The southpaw has been a steady presence in the Cleveland rotation for most of the season, as he's now gone at least five innings in all but one of his 16 outings since the beginning of June. While Allen holds a lackluster 4.43 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 109:59 K:BB across a career-high 139.1 innings, he may warrant some streaming appeal next week against a Royals club with a .659 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans six in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2025

  Allen did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Atlanta. He allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings while striking out six. Allen gave up one run through four innings before things fell apart in the fifth. He was charged with two unearned runs and failed to complete the frame after a pair of errors. He threw 107 pitches (65 strikes) in the ineffective outing and generated only 10 whiffs. Allen has struggled with his command recently, issuing 11 walks over his last 14.2 innings. On the bright side, he's given up two or fewer earned runs in six of his last eight outings while lowering his season ERA to 3.87 with a 98:51 K:BB through 123.1 innings. Allen is lined up for a road start against the Rangers next weekend.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Settles for no-decision Tuesday

  Rotowire Aug 13, 2025

  Allen didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Marlins, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out five. The southpaw wasn't sharp, throwing just 53 of 93 pitches for strikes, but Allen kept the Miami offense at bay until the fifth inning, when a two-out walk to Otto Lopez set the stage for a three-run rally that tied the game. After an 11-start stretch in which Allen didn't issue more than two free passes in an outing, he's now walked eight batters in 10 innings over his last two trips to the mound. He'll take a 3.94 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 92:48 K:BB over 118.2 frames into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against Atlanta.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Strikes out six in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Allen came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets, giving up two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six. The lefty's control was a little wobbly, as he threw just 51 of 88 pitches for strikes and managed first-pitch strikes to only 12 of the 23 batters he faced, but despite dealing with traffic on the bases in all five of his innings, Allen was able to limit the damage. He's been a steady presence in the Guardians' rotation, lasting at least five innings in 11 straight starts since the beginning of June while posting a 3.90 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB over 64.2 innings. Allen will look for his eighth win of the season in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Marlins.

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2025

  Allen (6-9) took the loss after throwing 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four, during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles. Allen's streak of seven straight starts without allowing more than three earned runs is over after allowing four runs Thursday. The left-hander has gotten some tough results lately, sporting a 1-5 record in his last six starts despite a decent 4.08 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 35.1 innings. The 26-year-old is slated to take the mound next against the Rockies at home.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Done in by rough fourth frame

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2025

  Allen (6-8) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings. Allen was sharp through three innings, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced. Things took a major turn for the worse for him in the fourth, however, as the A's led off the frame with three straight doubles and four consecutive hits overall to score three times. Allen got into trouble again in the fifth and the sixth, though no additional runs were charged to his ledger. The lefty saw a stretch of three straight quality starts come to an end, but he did manage to yield three or fewer runs for the seventh consecutive outing. Allen will carry a 4.06 ERA into his next start, which lines up to come at home versus Baltimore.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Start pushed back

  Rotowire Jul 10, 2025

  Thursday's game between the Guardians and White Sox was postponed due to rain, pushing back Allen's start, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. The teams are set for a doubleheader Friday, with Allen scheduled to take the ball in Game 1 at 3:10 p.m. ET, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Allen has been inconsistent this season, though he's allowed three or fewer earned runs and completed at least five innings in five consecutive outings.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Dealt tough loss

  Rotowire Jul 5, 2025

  Allen (5-7) took the loss Saturday against the Tigers after giving up one run on two hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out five. The left-hander delivered one of his better starts of the season, but he was still charged with the loss as Spencer Torkelson's second-inning solo homer was the only run of the contest. Allen has covered five-plus frames in each of his past six outings, and he has a 3.85 ERA and 27:11 K:BB over 35 innings during that stretch. He lines up to finish the first half with a favorable matchup versus the White Sox next week.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Stumbles against Jays

  Rotowire Jun 25, 2025

  Allen (5-5) took the loss Tuesday as the Guardians were downed 10-6 by the Blue Jays, giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four. The southpaw nearly eked out a quality start, but Allen got lifted after 104 pitches (70 strikes) with runners on the corners and two outs in the sixth inning, and Bo Bichette coming to the plate. It's only the second time this season Allen has been allowed to cross the 100-pitch threshold, and he continues to have difficulty putting together a long stretch of effectiveness. Over his last six appearances (five starts) he's gone 3-3 with a 4.88 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 27.2 innings. He'll look for a better result in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Cardinals.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Lasts 3.2 frames in loss

  Rotowire May 26, 2025

  Allen (2-3) took the loss Sunday in Detroit after giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two. The left-hander kept the Tigers off the board through three innings but fell apart in the fourth, as Detroit scored five runs on five hits, a hit-by-pitch and an error. Allen has now failed to cover five frames in three of his past four starts, though it's worth noting that one of those outings was cut short due to inclement weather. The 26-year-old has a 4.31 ERA through 10 starts this year, and his 1.63 WHIP and 36:25 K:BB aren't encouraging.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Start suspended due to weather

  Rotowire May 20, 2025

  Allen tossed three innings against Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three batters before the game was suspended due to inclement weather. Allen gave up a run in each of the first and second innings before tossing a clean, four-pitch third frame. That was as far as he would go, as the contest ended up being suspended until Tuesday due to rain. Allen isn't going to pitch when the game resumes, but he could still take the loss given that the Guardians were behind when the contest was halted. The left-hander threw 53 pitches Monday, so his arm should be relatively fresh when he next takes the mound, which is scheduled to be this weekend in Detroit.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: No-decision against Toronto

  Rotowire May 3, 2025

  Allen didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four across 5.2 innings. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Allen on Friday after he gave up seven runs to the Red Sox on April 27. He tallied 16 first-pitch strikes and nine whiffs across 104 pitches (66 strikes), and he was one out shy from logging his first quality start of the season. He's yielded two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings and has a 4.02 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 22:15 K:BB across 31.1 innings. Allen's next start is slated for next week on the road against the Nationals.

• Guardians' Logan Allen: Crushed in loss

  Rotowire Apr 27, 2025

  Allen (1-2) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings. Allen had allowed only five earned runs across his first four starts of the year but couldn't escape a four-run fifth inning Sunday. The southpaw struggled to put hitters away, throwing just 57 of 96 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. He'll take a 4.21 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 18:13 K:BB across 25.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.
