Braves stay hot and rally past skidding Mets on 97-degree night in NY

Matt Olson had three RBIs, including a tiebreaking single that capped a five-run sixth inning, and the Atlanta Braves rallied past the reeling New York Mets 7-4

JUNE 25, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

Impact 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.

Back in action Sunday Allen (hand) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Allen had been held out of the lineup for the past two days after experiencing swelling on the knuckle of his right middle finger upon being hit by a pitch in the second game of a doubleheader Thursday versus the Phillies. The two days off appear to have provided sufficient time for Allen to heal up from the injury, and he should be ready to handle the bulk of the starts at shortstop for Atlanta moving forward.

Braves Nick Allen Progressing In Recovery, Not Quite Ready To Play The Atlanta Braves shortstop remains day-to-day as he recovers from the injury to his hand

MAY 31, 2025 • SI.COM

Absent from Saturday's lineup Allen (hand) is not in Atlanta's starting lineup against Boston on Saturday.

Impact Allen will be out of the lineup for a second straight game due to a hand injury that he suffered when he was struck in the hand by a pitch in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies. Luke Williams will start at shortstop and bat ninth.

Not in Friday's lineup Allen (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact 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.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

X-rays come back clean 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.

Impact 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.

MAY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Removed from Thursday's contest Allen exited Thursday's game against the Phillies with an apparent finger injury, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact 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.

Resting for front end of twin bill Allen is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

Impact 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.

Swipes sixth bag 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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Impact The 26-year-old led Atlanta in hits on a night when the team took advantage of Coors Field to rack up 14 knocks in total. Allen remains a glove-first shortstop, but he's provided more offense than expected this season to supplant Orlando Arcia as the starter, slashing .292/.352/.338 through 21 games with four steals, four RBI and seven runs.
