Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard has been added as the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Washington Nationals. Allard made his MLB debut on July 31 against the Marlins, but gave up four earned runs through five innings. He has not pitched with the Braves since that game, but could see action especially with Max Fried starting on Tuesday. Fried has dealt with blister issues and he could end up making a short start. Otherwise Allard would likely come out of the bullpen.

The left-hander allowed nine hits and five runs (four earned) in five innings, and he also picked up his first major league hit. The 20-year-old is one of the team's top pitching prospects and could be up later this year, although he won't contribute consistently for fantasy owners until probably next season.

It was a night that 20-year-old Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard would forever remember. He had to wait through a lengthy rain delay on Tuesday to make his first Major League start - a spot one - and he pitched fairly well for being so green. He went five innings, gave up five runs, though only four were earned. Allard walked two and struck out one. He's one to look to for the future, like Mike Soroka.

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Kolby Allard is being called up on Tuesday to start against the Marlins in his MLB debut. It will help create an extra day of rest for each starter in the rotation with the Braves in a stretch of playing 31 games in 32 days. Allard is the team's eighth-ranked prospect and was pitching well at Triple-A with a 6-4 record, 2.80 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 87 punchouts in 109 1/3 innings over 18 starts. The southpaw is an intriguing streamer everywhere against a weak Marlins club that just lost Cameron Maybin to a trade. However, Allard might just be making a spot start here, so his value in single-season leagues could be fleeting.

Allard is a former first-round pick in 2015 and ranks number 54 in the top 100 prospects according to MLB.com. The left-hander offers three pitches and has strong command on all of his pitches.
