Cleveland optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus after the first game of Friday's doubleheader against Detroit.
Allen started the matinee Friday and got roughed up for six runs (five earned) over 2.1 innings. Cleveland opted for a fresh arm for the nightcap, calling up Daniel Espino from Columbus to replace Allen on the active roster.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Starting first game Friday
Rotowire
Allen will start the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Tigers, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
All four of Allen's appearances since he was recalled in mid-August have come out of the bullpen. However, he has made 20 starts between the majors and minors in 2026 and will be pitching on five days' rest, so he should be capable of providing decent length if he's pitching well.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Recalled from Columbus
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Allen has spent the majority of the season at Columbus, turning in a 4.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with a 112:35 K:BB across 94.2 innings. He'll now rejoin the big club to presumably provide length out of the bullpen, replacing Franco Aleman.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
The left-hander served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates and started the nightcap, taking a no-decision after giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits with three strikeouts and three walks over 3.1 innings. Allen will rejoin Columbus' rotation but could get another look in the majors when Cleveland needs some length.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Inefficient in spot start
Rotowire
Allen didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
Called up as the 27th man to get the start in the nightcap of the twin bill, Allen needed 81 pitches (51 strikes) to record just 10 outs before getting the hook in line for the loss. Cleveland's offense was able to bail him out late, however. The southpaw is likely to return to Triple-A Columbus, but through two big-league appearances (one start) this season, he's posted a 2.45 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Added as 27th man
Rotowire
The Guardians appointed Allen as their 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates in Cleveland, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Allen is set to start the nightcap while Gavin Williams gets the call to start the first game of Saturday's twin bill. Allen tallied seven strikeouts while giving up two unearned runs in four innings during his lone major-league outing of the season May 25 against Washington. Since then, he's turned in a 3.43 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 42 frames at Triple-A Columbus.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Starting Game 2 of doubleheader
Rotowire
Allen will start in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Allen will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the Guardians' 27th man Saturday, with the left-hander starting in Game 2 while Gavin Williams starts in Game 1. It'll be the second major-league outing of the season for Allen, with his first taking place May 25 against the Nationals, when he allowed two unearned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across four innings. He's started in 16 games in Triple-A, where he has a 4-3 record and a 4.39 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 95:31 K:BB across 80 innings.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Allen saved the Guardians' bullpen by recording seven strikeouts and allowing just two unearned runs allowed over four innings Monday versus the Nationals. He threw 83 pitches in the appearance, so Allen is being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in Will Dion.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Majors stay likely brief
Rotowire
Allen allowed two unearned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over four relief innings in Monday's 10-2 loss to Washington.
Allen, a starter in the minors, was called up Sunday and needed to bail out the bullpen a day later when starter Tanner Bibee was done after three innings. The Guardians are in the middle of a stretch where they are playing 13 consecutive days, which can be taxing on a 'pen. Given that Allen burned 61 pitches Monday, he's unlikely to be available for several days. As such, his locker was cleaned out post-game, indicating the Guardians will make a roster move Tuesday, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Moves up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.
Allen has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he's started in eight games and has a 2-1 record with a 5.45 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB across 38 innings. Although he's been a starter his entire career, the Guardians don't have an obvious opening in the rotation, so Allen will most likely be ticketed for a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. The Guardians designated right-hander Peyton Pallette for assignment in a corresponding move.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Guardians returned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Cleveland called Allen up from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday and designated him as its 27th man for a doubleheader with the Cubs, but he went unused out of the bullpen for either game of the twin bill. He'll slot back into the rotation upon returning to Columbus.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Called up for twin bill
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Cubs, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander failed to crack Cleveland's starting rotation to begin the season and has instead stayed stretched out at Columbus. Allen pitched well in his lone Triple-A start, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts and a walk across five innings. Slade Cecconi and Parker Messick are penciled in as the Guardians' starting pitchers for the twin bill, setting up Allen to potentially work as a long reliever.

Guardians' Logan Allen: May be needed by Cleveland
Rotowire
Allen could be called up from Triple-A Columbus to make a start in next week's series versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles if Tanner Bibee (shoulder) needs to skip a start or eventually lands on the injured list, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Bibee was removed from his season-opening start Thursday against the Mariners due to shoulder inflammation, which at this point is deemed to be minor. The Guardians don't have any rest days between now and when Bibee is next scheduled to pitch (Tuesday), so Allen may be on standby at Columbus. Bibee reported feeling better Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, so the Guardians will wait and see how he fares coming out of that session before deciding if Allen will be needed to replace him in the rotation, if only temporarily.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Loses battle for rotation spot
Rotowire
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
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
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.
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Coughs up four runs in no-decision
Rotowire
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 struggled once again in this 88-pitch appearance, generating only eight whiffs. The 27-year-old gave up two runs on an Alejandro Osuna double in the second before allowing two additional tallies via a Jake Burger single in the third. 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. Overall, the Cleveland southpaw concludes his regular season with a 4.25 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 122:62 K:BB across 156.2 total frames.
