Braves Face Injuries, Await Nick Allen's Return

News summary

Atlanta Braves shortstop Nick Allen remains out after being hit on the hand by a pitch during Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies, but X-rays were negative for fractures. Manager Brian Snitker is hopeful Allen could return as soon as Sunday, depending on his recovery from hand swelling. Luke Williams has filled in at shortstop, performing well offensively in Allen's absence. The Braves recently designated Orlando Arcia for assignment, and top shortstop prospect Nacho Alvarez Jr. is also sidelined with a wrist injury. Additional injuries have impacted the team, with pitcher AJ Smith-Shawever and outfielder Stuart Fairchild currently out. The Braves are managing several roster challenges as they await Allen's return.
