KANSAS CITY — Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson issued a variety of updates on the team’s starting rotation prior to Saturday evening’s game against the Royals.
Kolby Allard will start for the Phillies in Sunday’s series finale against the Royals. That means Allard will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to the game, which will leave someone else to be optioned or placed on the injured list to make room for him on the 26-man roster. It’s not yet clear who that will be.
Allard, 27, was scratched from his scheduled start for Triple-A Lehigh Valley Saturday.
