Allen will start at catcher and bat seventh Sunday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He'll receive a second straight turn behind the dish while top backstop Austin Hedges contends with a sprained left ankle. Allen, who is hitting .276 in 14 games this season, may be worth keeping an eye on in NL-only formats or deeper mixed leagues that start two catchers each week in the event Hedges' ankle issue forces him to the 10-day injured list.
