Kolby Allard will make his 2023 season debut Wednesday for the Atlanta Braves when they wrap up a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins. Brian Snitker made the announcement following Tuesday’s 6-2 win over the Twins.
It has been a long road back to Atlanta for Allard. The Braves originally drafted him in the first round of the 2015 Draft. He made his major league debut with the club in 2018 and was traded to the Rangers at the deadline in 2019 for reliever Chris Martin. Atlanta reacquired him this past offseason from the Rangers in exchange for Jake Odorizzi.
