Allen went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop's defense has kept him in the lineup, but Allen has contributed very little offensively to Atlanta's cause this season. He's slashing just .228/.298/.258 through 104 games with only nine extra-base hits, all doubles, along with seven steals, 18 RBI and 27 runs.

Allen went 1-for-3 with a single in Sunday's 8-1 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Allen picked up his 47th consecutive start Sunday, but despite enjoying a stable role, he's struggled to provide much meaningful fantasy value this season. In addition to batting just .227 on the season, Allen has been a non-factor in most of the counting categories, contributing zero home runs, six stolen bases, 25 runs and 18 RBI over 95 games. The 26-year-old probably profiles best as a utility infielder, but his excellent defense at shortstop along with the lack of appealing alternatives within the organization should be enough to keep him atop the depth chart in Atlanta.

Allen went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old infielder entered Thursday with just six extra-base hits this season, and the double was only his third extra-base knock of the month of June. Allen has carved out a steady role in 2025 -- he's started 64 of Atlanta's 73 games at shortstop -- but it hasn't yet translated to very much fantasy appeal. He's hit eighth or ninth in the batting order in all but one of his outings, with Allen slashing just .230/.308/.268 with zero home runs, 13 RBI, 20 runs scored and six stolen bases through 211 plate appearances.

Allen (hand) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had been held out of the lineup for the past two days due to swelling on the knuckle of his right middle finger after he was hit by a pitch Thursday. The two days off appear to have provided sufficient time for Allen to heal up. The 26-year-old sports a .243/.308/.271 slash line in 48 games this season.

Allen (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was struck in the hand by a pitch during Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, and he'll miss at least one start due to the injury. The 26-year-old already had X-rays come back negative and may not miss much additional time.

X-rays on Allen's hand returned negative after he was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Phillies, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was clipped in the hand by a pitch in the third inning and was removed immediately after. It appears he's avoided a long-term injury, though his status for Atlanta's weekend series against Boston is unclear.

Allen exited Thursday's game against the Phillies with an apparent finger injury, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had a pitch graze his hand in the third inning and was removed prior to Atlanta retaking the field in the fourth frame. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but Luke Jackson took over at shortstop.

Allen is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had started in every game dating back to April 23, so he'll get an overdue breather in Atlanta's first contest of the day before presumably returning to the lineup for the nightcap. Luke Williams will step in at shortstop for Allen in the early game.

Allen went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old shortstop swiped his sixth bag of the year, although it's taken him 10 attempts to get there. Allen has taken over the starting job for Atlanta primarily due to his defense -- he ranks in the 100th percentile in fielding range, per Statcast -- but he's providing a smidge of fantasy value in deeper formats with a .260/.324/.293 slash line, 10 RBI and 11 runs over 40 games.
