Nick Allen Odds for 2026
Nick Allen
Houston Astros
There are no bets available at the moment.
Back in reserve role
Allen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.
Analysis
Though he received the start at shortstop in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Orioles, Allen will be back on the bench for the series opener against the Marlins while Jeremy Pena (hamstring) checks back into the starting nine. Allen had a brief run as the Astros' primary shortstop when he returned from the injured list June 29, but Pena has taken back control of the position since being reinstated July 10 following an IL stint of his own.
