Logan Allen Penciled In As Guardians Fifth Starter
Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports that pitcher Logan Allen will be the Cleveland Guardians' fifth starter in the rotation. Triston McKenzie will begin the year in the bullpen. The 26-year-old wasn't particularly effective during the 2024 season, bolstering a 5.73 ERA in 97.1 innings (20 starts). However, he's had a strong spring, authoring a 1.89 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 19 innings with a 19:4 K:BB ratio. Allen is an afterthought in drafts right now, which is fair based on his production a season ago. Still, his changeup and sweeper generated whiffs at 27.1% and 33.1%, respectively, with Cleveland last year. If he can get his fastball to play up, he could provide some value for fantasy managers while he's got a spot in the rotation.
