Guardians' Logan Allen: Done in by rough fourth frame
Rotowire
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: Dealt tough loss
Rotowire
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Stumbles against Jays
Rotowire
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: Goes 5.1 frames in victory
Rotowire
Allen (5-4) earned the win over San Francisco on Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings.
Allen cruised through four scoreless frames before giving up a two-run homer to Heliot Ramos in the fifth. The lefty hurler finished that inning and was brought out for the sixth but faced just one batter -- whom he retired -- before being lifted at 95 pitches. Though that prevented him from notching consecutive quality starts for the first time this season, the outing as a whole was a positive one for Allen, who has picked up two straight wins for the first time on the campaign while giving up just four runs across 11.1 innings in those outings. Allen will look to keep that momentum in his next start, which lines up to be a home matchup versus Toronto.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Cruises to fourth win
Rotowire
Allen (4-4) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings during an 11-2 rout of the Reds. He struck out six.
The left-hander did serve up two solo shots, getting taken deep by Elly De La Cruz in the fourth inning and TJ Friedl in the sixth, but Allen had already been staked to a 4-0 lead by the end of the third. The quality start was only Allen's second of the year, but Wednesday's outing was the first time he's given up multiple homers in the same game. He'll take a 4.28 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 46:28 K:BB through 61 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in San Francisco.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Falters late in loss
Rotowire
Allen (3-4) took the loss against the Astros on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.
Allen opened with four scoreless innings before giving up four runs over his final two. The southpaw generated just four swinging strikes on 88 pitches but managed to complete six frames for only the second time in 11 starts this season. He'll carry a 4.42 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 40:27 K:BB across 55 innings into a home matchup with the Reds next week.
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
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: Inefficient in no-decision
Rotowire
Allen came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out three.
The southpaw threw only 48 of 91 pitches for strikes before getting the early hook with Cleveland down 3-0, but an eight-run eruption by the Guardians in the sixth erased the loss on his ledger. Allen has yet to last six innings in an outing this season, limiting his fantasy utility in formats that value quality starts even in favorable matchups. He'll take a 4.33 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25:19 K:BB through 35.1 innings into his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Brewers.

Rotowire
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.

Guardians' Logan Allen: Fans five in no-decision
Rotowire

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.
