Handling regular role at shortstop
Allen will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays.
Analyse
Since coming off the 10-day injured list Monday, Allen has drawn starts in five of Houston's ensuing six games while going 3-for-14 with a double, two walks, two runs and one RBI. Per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Astros manager Joe Espada said prior to Sunday's game that he anticipates top shortstop Jeremy Pena (calf) returning from the IL as soon as next Friday, so Allen's run as a regular in the lineup will soon come to an end.

Returns from IL
The Astros activated Allen (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Allen has missed the past three weeks with a left hamstring strain, but he's been cleared to rejoin the active roster after playing two rehab games with Triple-A Sugar Land. The 27-year-old is expected to operate as a reserve infielder, though he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's series opener versus the Twins while Jeremy Pena takes a seat due to leg discomfort, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
