The Athletics promoted Allen from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The 22-year-old shortstop hasn't played for Midland since July 15, instead spending most of the past three weeks with Team USA in Tokyo helping the national team secure the silver medal in the Olympic Games. The Athletics evidently felt Allen's experience against higher-level international competition was enough to warrant a bump up to Triple-A, where he'll likely remain for the rest of the season. Over his 229 plate appearances at Midland, Allen slashed .319/.374/.471 with six home runs and an 8-for-14 success rate on stolen-base attempts.
