Shelved by hamstring strain
The Astros placed Allen on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a left hamstring strain.
Analysis
Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics after tweaking his hamstring while running out a grounder, and an MRI revealed a strain. It's unclear how severe the strain is, but even a mild one has the potential to keep Allen out beyond the minimum 10 days.

Exits Sunday's game
Allen was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics due to an apparent leg injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Allen appeared to sustain the injury while running to first base on a single in the bottom of the third inning. He left the game with a trainer, and the Astros should have an update on Allen's status once he undergoes more tests. Taylor Trammell replaced Allen as a pinch runner, and the former will stay in the game in left field after Brice Matthews was moved to second base.
