Allen’s Hamstring Strain Adds to Astros’ Struggles

Houston Astros infielder Nick Allen exited Sunday’s game with left hamstring discomfort after a sharp pull while running to first base, forcing him to signal for help and leave the field. Though frustrated for wanting to stay in, he’s scheduled for imaging Monday to assess severity — and still plans to travel with the team to Anaheim. At 27, Allen’s consistent hitting (.266/.304 OBP, 1 HR) and versatility at second base made him a key piece of the lineup. His injury adds pressure as the Astros, already struggling offensively (5 shutouts, 4-5 record on the homestand), face more lineup uncertainty heading into their next series.
