Consigned to bench role
Allen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Analysis
As anticipated, Atlanta's waiver pickup of Ha-Seong Kim earlier in the week has resulted in Allen losing hold of his everyday role at shortstop. Kim will occupy the position for the second game in a row and will likely get an extended evaluation in September, leaving Allen to settle for limited playing time in a utility role. Allen offers strong defense at shortstop, but with a measly .534 OPS over 405 plate appearances on the season, he hasn't hit well enough to profile as a viable everyday player.

Set to lose starting job
Allen went 1-for-4 in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Cubs, and over his last 13 games he's batting just .111 (3-for-27) with a 0:10 BB:K.
Analysis
The 26-year-old offers a good glove at shortstop, but Allen has never figured out how to hit big-league pitching and has a .534 OPS through 405 plate appearances this season, and a .536 OPS for his career. Atlanta claimed Ha-Seong Kim (back) off waivers from the Rays on Monday, and he's expected to take over as the team's starting shortstop once he's activated from the IL, which could happen as soon as Tuesday. Allen will likely be relegated to a late-inning defensive role after Kim joins the active roster.
