    Athletics' Nick Allen: Swats pair of doubles Sunday

    Nick Allen went 2-for-4 with two doubles in a loss to the White Sox on Sunday.Drawing only his second start in the last six games, Allen connected for his first extra-base hits at the big-league level since April 25. The 25-year-old infielder has been back up with the Oakland Athletics since late August, but he's drawn only 16 plate appearances across seven games overall since returning. Allen has made appearances at each infield position except first base this season, yet the good health the A's are enjoying down the stretch leave very few paths to playing time for him.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Singles, scores in return to majors

    Nick Allen went 1-for-4 with a run in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.Allen had been summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, but Thursday marked his first taste of big-league game action since May 1. The 25-year-old infielder drew the start at shortstop Thursday, but it remains to be seen how much playing time the typically light-hitting Allen will see down the stretch with the A's expected to give Jacob Wilson a long look.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Back in majors

    The Oakland Athletics recalled Nick Allen from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.Allen earned the promotion after putting up a 1.136 OPS with five home runs and seven stolen bases in August. He has managed a lowly .210/.256/.284 batting line in parts of three seasons with the Athletics, and with Jacob Wilson, Zack Gelof and likely Max Schuemann ahead of him in the pecking order in the infield, Allen may be in store for sparse playing time over the final month of the campaign.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Swinging hot bat at Vegas

    Nick Allen owns a .420 average and 1.055 OPS over 80 plate appearances in 17 games with Triple-A Las Vegas since being optioned May 3.Allen has eight extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, one home run), 12 RBI, eight walks, two steals, a hit-by-pitch and 16 runs, making it an all-around dominant showing for the previously struggling shortstop. Allen has also upped his walk rate from a 6.5 percent figure he'd mustered during his time with the Oakland Athletics to 10.0 percent, while his strikeout rate has seen a welcome reduction from 24.7 percent to a modest 15.0 percent. Nevertheless, the A's already saw this type of drastic dichotomy from Allen last season, when he thrived in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League but produced strikingly different numbers at the major-league level. With Max Schuemann putting together a solid showing (.261 average, .709 OPS) at shortstop with the big-league club, Allen doesn't appear to have a viable path for a return to the Athletics for the time being.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Optioned to Las Vegas

    The Oakland Athletics optioned Nick Allen to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.Allen will return to the minors after slashing .171/.227/.243 across 77 plate appearances to begin the season. The 25-year-old infielder may return to Oakland if he's able to replicate his .939 Triple-A OPS from last year, but his reputation as an offensive liability in the majors could make the team hesitant to call him back up.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Sitting again versus righty

    Nick Allen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.For the second time in three games, Allen will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Albert Suarez) while Darell Hernaiz checks in for him at shortstop. Allen is the more established big-league player of the two shortstops, but given that he posted a lowly .550 OPS over 329 plate appearances in 2023 and is off to an even worse start in 2024 (.490 OPS In 73 plate appearances), the Oakland Athletics could be motivated to give the rookie Hernaiz an extended look at the position.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Belts first homer Thursday

    Nick Allen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.The light-hitting shortstop squared up a Nestor Cortes offering in the third inning to erase an early 1-0 deficit for Oakland. Allen's round tripper was his first of the season, and his first extra-base hit since March 31. The 25-year-old's season slash line is still a miserable .171/.216/.229, but Allen has hit safely in four of his last five games.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Recaptures regular role

    Nick Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.Allen had begun to fade into a part-time role early last week, but he appears to have since regained a foothold as the Oakland Athletics' everyday shortstop after rookie Darell Hernaiz was demoted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He's now picked up a fifth straight start at shortstop, but Allen still isn't an enticing fantasy option in spite of the increased stability with his playing time. Through 58 plate appearances this season, Allen is slashing .170/.241/.208 with zero home runs or stolen bases.

    Athletics' Nick Allen: Losing work to Hernaiz

    Nick Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.Though he's back in the lineup against Cardinals southpaw Steven Matz, Allen had been withheld from the starting nine in each of the past three games, when the opposition brought right-handed pitchers to the hill. Allen looks to have moved into the short side of a platoon at shortstop with Darell Hernaiz.
