Nick Allen News: Rare extra-base hit in easy win

Allen went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

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 in 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 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.
