Returns to reserve role Allen is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The 29-year-old started the past four games with Bryan Reynolds on the paternity list, and Allen will return to the bench Sunday with Reynolds reinstated to the active roster. Allen should continue to see sporadic opportunities as a reserve outfielder.

Swipes first bag of year Allen went 1-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 4-2 extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Impact After driving in the game's first run with a two-bagger in the third inning, Allen then stole third base for his first pilfer of the season. The journeyman outfielder is on his fourth big-league team in the last three seasons, and a 3-for-21 (.143) start to his Pirates tenure with an 0:8 BB:K isn't making a great case for a consistent role.

Short-term playing time opens Allen will start in center field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Allen looked primed to operate as a short-side platoon option in the outfield when he was reinstated from the injured list last Friday, but Bryan Reynolds' (personal) move to the paternity list Thursday creates a temporary opening for Allen to see regular work versus right-handed pitching, too. Over his first three games of the season with the Pirates, Allen went 1-for-12 with six strikeouts.

Tallies hit in debut Allen went 1-for-4 Saturday against the Marlins.

Impact Allen was activated from the injured list Friday and made his season debut a day later. He started in center field and hit second, displacing Jake Marisnick from the lineup. Allen could be a good source of stolen bases if he gets regular playing time, but he provides little power and has a career .307 on-base percentage across 670 plate appearances.

Ready for season debut Allen (hamstring) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Allen has yet to play in 2022 after suffering a hamstring injury during spring training. He isn't in the lineup Friday against Miami and could find consistent playing time difficult to find, particularly once Bryan Reynolds (oblique) is able to return.

Out through All-Star break Allen (hamstring) will be reassessed after the All-Star break, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Allen's rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, and he went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a strikeout during his first game with the Triple-A club. The 29-year-old has been on the injured list since the start of the season due to strains in both hamstrings, so it isn't very surprising to see him require a lengthy rehab assignment.

Shifts rehab to Triple-A The Pirates moved Allen's (hamstring) rehab assignment from Single-A Bradenton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Allen, who has been on the 60-day injured list all season while recovering from strains of both hamstrings, will likely remain with Indianapolis through the All-Star break before the Pirates activate him. Over his three rehab games with Bradenton, Allen went 3-for-9 with a walk and a run.

Beginning rehab stint at Single-A Allen (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Bradenton soon, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact While the Pirates hoped that Allen would be able to return to game action in the minors last weekend, he required a few more days before gaining clearance to report to Bradenton. The 29-year-old should require several rehab games prior to rejoining the major-league club.
