Allard (illness) will piggyback starter Glenn Otto in Thursday's game against the Astros, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. He missed his previous start due to a non-COVID illness.
It's unclear how the innings will break down between the two pitchers, or if Allard will get another start -- traditional or piggyback -- this season. As a starter, Allard has a 5.40 ERA and 2.3 HR/9 over 91.2 innings.
