D-backs Select Logan Allen, Transfer Eduardo Rodriguez To 60-Day IL

By Steve Adams | April 17, 2024 at 12:07pm CDT

The D-backs announced Wednesday that they’ve selected the contract of left-hander Logan Allen from Triple-A Reno and transferred lefty Eduardo Rodriguez from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to open a roster spot. The Snakes also recalled righty Justin Martinez from Triple-A. Right-hander Luis Frias and left-hander Tommy Henry were optioned to Reno to creative active roster space for Allen and Martinez.

It’ll be the first big league action since 2022 for the 26-year-old Allen (not to be confused by the other left-hander named Logan Allen, who solidified himself in the Guardians’ rotation with a strong rookie campaign in 2023).

The older Allen also pitched for Cleveland previously, to make matters more confusing. He’s a former eighth-round draft pick who’s appeared in parts of four big league seasons, working to a combined 5.89 ERA in 96 1/3 frames between Cleveland, San Diego and Baltimore. In a dozen innings with Reno, he’s pitched to a 3.00 ERA with nine strikeouts, three walks and a 50% ground-ball rate.

The “60-day” term on Rodriguez’s IL stint is retroactive to his original placement and does not reset to today. While Arizona had hoped he’d only miss a month originally, the veteran southpaw recently experienced renewed shoulder discomfort during a throwing session and had his rehab program paused. In light of that setback, it’s not especially surprising to see him pushed to the 60-day IL. His original placement was retroactive to March 25, meaning he’s now sidelined through at least Friday, May 24.

With Rodriguez now shelved for another five weeks at least, Arizona’s rotation will consist of Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, Jordan Montgomery and Brandon Pfaadt in the top four spots. Montgomery has also yet to make his season debut but it scheduled to do so on Friday. Twenty-six-year-old righty Ryne Nelson currently holds the fifth spot, but he’s yielded eight runs in 13 2/3 innings this season and carries a 5.31 ERA in 157 2/3 frames dating back to last year. His grip on that rotation spot is not exactly iron-clad.

    That would be awesome if Justin Martinez can consistently throw strikes because he throws triple digits with a nasty secondary pitch. They desperately need a bullpen arm to come in and call everyone else to their A game.

    This article is more confusing than Sunday dinner at George Foreman’s house.

      Just wait until both Logan Allens are pitching in the same game.

      Suffer. Relax, the Dbacks just played 2 extra inning games. They needed a couple of fresh arms in the bullpen. That’s all this is.

    Thank God E rod is gone from Detroit. Boston is the only team going to ever get value from him. He’s at Arizona for life, and the other teams are glad for it.

      He seems like a guy who really enjoys getting paid to be a professional baseball player. He just doesn’t enjoy actually playing baseball.

      Hope the DBacks took an insurance policy out on ERods contract. Tigers definitely dodged a bullet

      Pick, that is totally wrong. Erod was a stiff. When he pitched, the game took on average of approximately three hours. Nibble, nibble, nibble. He couldn’t throw a strike. He sucked and I was astounded the Tigers wasted those years on him.

      I.M. Certainly not me. I was ecstatic when he left for Detroit.

    I’d be curious to see Erod’s off-season preparation prior to the last and first years of a contract. I bet they’re very different. Funny how he’s so much better when the money is on the line.

    Ryne Nelson has great stuff and was pretty good last time out. Don’t think they’re gonna give up on him just yet.
