Nick Allen, Atlanta Braves Shortstop, Day-to-Day With Hand Injury

Nick Allen's day-to-day status due to a hand injury might impact the Braves' infield plans. Allen has started 44 of 47 games this season, playing a key role as a shortstop. His batting average sits at .245, and he has shown solid defense, which will be missed if he's unable to play.

If Allen is out, Luke Williams is next in line to fill the shortstop position. Allen's recent performance at home has been lower compared to his road games, with a home average of .115. This may factor into the decision on how long to rest him before returning to the lineup.
