Fantasy Impact:
Allen was traded to Houston from Atlanta in November after hitting .221 in 135 games for the Braves in 2025. The shortstop, known more for his glove than for his bat, is a career .213 hitter with nine home runs in 1,176 career plate appearances between the Athletics and Braves. With Jeremy Pena and Jose Altuve locked in at shortstop and second base, respectively, Allen will be a bench piece for the Astros in 2026.
