He appeared twice during the spring before suffering a minor injury that forced him to start the season on the injured list. He made two rehab appearances at Gwinnett allowing a combined six hits and two runs scored in 6 2/3 innings pitched. Allard has 65 career appearances in the majors and has a 6.07 ERA and 5.36 FIP in 232 2/3 innings pitched.
