The Atlanta Braves starting rotation now has a few more question marks as lefty Kolby Allard will begin the season on the Injured List due to an oblique strain. Allard suffered a moderate strain, but there is not yet a timetable on his return.
#Braves lefty Kolby Allard has grade 2 right oblique strain and will begin season on IL. Former ATL 1st-rounder returned to Braves from Rangers in Nov. trade for Jake Odorizzi, after 4 seasons w/Texas. He's expected to be at Triple A when healthy & provide rotation depth for ATL.
