The Braves made their intentions clear during the madness that was the trade deadline that when Kolby Allard started yesterday, that it was only going to be a spot start. There are going to be a lot of moving pieces in the rotation going forward and Allard appears to be among those pieces.
However, with the addition of Kevin Gausman at the trade deadline and some weather issues in play, it was never going to be basic roster management stuff. The Braves went with a somewhat familiar face, for the moment, to take Allard’s roster spot.
