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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans five in no-decision
Rotowire
Allen did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh, pitching 5.2 innings while allowing one run on five hits and one walk. He struck out five.
The 26-year-old southpaw looked solid in this outing, tossing 95 pitches and generating seven whiffs, falling one out short of his first quality start of the season. The only blemish on Allen's day was a run-scoring double off the bat of Andrew McCutchen in the sixth inning. Allen now sports a 2.11 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB over 21.1 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Red Sox at home next weekend.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Silences O's in win
Rotowire
Allen (1-1) tossed 5.2 scoreless innings in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six.
Allen mowed down the Orioles, allowing just two base knocks to Cedric Mullins and Gunnar Henderson. After showing poor command in his 2025 debut, Allen has looked like a completely different pitcher. He's given up one run in his last 10.1 innings while averaging just under a strikeout per inning. Allen owns a 2.30 ERA and 1.40 WHIP and lines up for a favorable matchup versus the Pirates this weekend.

Guardians' Logan Allen: No earned runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Allen came away with the no-decision in Wednesday's win over the White Sox. He gave up one unearned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.2 innings.
The lone run Allen gave up came in the first inning on an RBI single by Lenyn Sosa, but the southpaw avoided the earned run due to a fielding error earlier in the frame. Allen didn't allow a run for the rest of his outing, but he was unable to complete five innings to factor into the decision. It was a better outing for the 25-year-old than his 2025 debut against the Padres on April 2, when he gave up four earned runs. Allen is in line to face the struggling Orioles on the road next week, when he will look to earn his first win of the season.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Can't find plate in season debut
Rotowire
Allen (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs on seven hits and five walks over 5.1 innings as the Guardians fell 7-0 to the Padres. He struck out one.
While the inability of Cleveland's hitters to solve Michael King and the San Diego bullpen gave Allen no margin for error, the southpaw created his own problems by getting only 55 of 89 pitches into the strike zone and generating just three swinging strikes. Allen had an impressive spring training, but the Guardians have plenty of options to replace him in the rotation if he continues to struggle. He'll look to rebound in his next scheduled start early next week, at home against the White Sox.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Earns rotation spot
Rotowire
Allen was named the Guardians' No. 5 starter Sunday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
The left-hander earned the job with a strong showing during spring training, as he made six appearances and had a 1.89 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB across 19 innings. Allen had a 5.73 ERA in 20 regular-season starts for Cleveland last year but had a 3.81 ERA over 125.1 innings as a rookie in 2023.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Lowers spring ERA to 1.89
Rotowire
Allen allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's split-squad start against the Angels.
This was Allen's fifth Cactus League appearance and third start. Following a regression season in 2024, Allen has pitched well this spring, elevating his chances among several candidates for one of the open rotation spots. He lowered his Cactus League ERA to 1.89, the best of all starters not named Tanner Bibee. His 19 strikeouts to four walks over 19 innings also points to him opening the regular season in the Guardians' rotation.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans four in second spring start
Rotowire
Allen allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings in Thursday's spring start against the White Sox.
Allen made his second Cactus League start and worked up to 44 pitches (26 strikes). Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt was pleased with the outing but noted the pitcher's "command issues" following the game, per Steve Stockmar of MLB.com. Higher-than optimal walk rates were an issue for Allen last season, and he also saw a spike in home runs allowed. After teasing the Guardians in his rookie 2023 season (3.81 ERA), Allen fell off to a 5.73 ERA and allowed a combined 34 home runs in 146 innings between Cleveland and Triple-A Columbus. The left-hander is one of several pitchers competing for a spot in the big-league rotation.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Returned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Hit hard in spot start
Rotowire
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.
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Allen will start the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals. The lefty could be in line for just a spot start, as Alex Cobb (fingernail) looks to have a good shot and returning from the 15-day injured list the next time the Guardians require a fifth starter. Allen holds a 5.56 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 78:37 K:BB across 92.1 innings with the big club this season.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Set to pitch Monday
Rotowire
Allen will be called up from Triple-A Columbus to start one game of Monday's doubleheader against the Royals, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Cleveland hasn't officially announced its starters for the twin bill, but Allen and Joey Cantillo appear set to take the hill 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.

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

Guardians' Logan Allen: Allows two runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Allen did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 loss versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings.
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 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 innings unscathed. It's unclear if Allen will get another turn in the rotation, as Alex Cobb (hip) will return this weekend and Triston McKenzie may also get another look after having his best start in the minors his last time out.

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

Guardians' Logan Allen: Looks set to rejoin big club Monday
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Guardians' Logan Allen: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
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.
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Struggles in defeat
Rotowire
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.
Allen never found his footing, surrendering runs in the first two frames before exiting in the fifth inning. This comes off the back of a brutal outing during which 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.
