Greg Allen Expected To Enter Starting Lineup
Greg Allen is expected to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. With Tim Locastro (knee) and Aaron Judge (COVID-19) both on the shelf, the 28-year-old may spend some additional time with the big club moving ahead. Although he has played relatively well in Triple-A, especially on the base paths, he struggled last season in the majors, batting .154 throughout 32 plate appearances with San Diego and Cleveland. Allen is worth monitoring, primarily if he can maximize his recent opportunity. However, until then, he isn't worth a spot on fantasy rosters in all formats.

Greg Allen Begins Rehab Assignment
Greg Allen (hip) took live at-bats against lefty Nestor Cortes on July 9 at Yankee Stadium and began a minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Friday. He was expected to miss six to eight weeks after suffering a right hip-flexor strain on June 2. Allen was placed on the 10-day injured list the following day on June 3. The 30-year-old may only need a couple of rehab games before being activated from the injured list, which means he could return as major-league outfield depth for the Yankees by next week. Allen carries very little fantasy appeal when he's healthy. He was hitting .214 (3-for-14) with a home run, triple, an RBI, one stolen base and five runs scored in 10 games at the time of his injury.

Greg Allen Lands On 10-Day Injured List
Greg Allen (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. He's dealing with a right hip flexor strain, an injury he suffered during Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Allen's absence isn't a significant loss for most fantasy managers, considering he's hitting .214 with five runs, three hits, and one home run in 10 games. He'll undergo further testing on Monday. But to fill the void, the Yankees recalled Oswaldo Cabrera from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Greg Allen Agrees With Red Sox On Minor-League Deal
Greg Allen on a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to a source. Allen didn't make his 2022 season debut until the second half of the season due to a hamstring, and he finished with a weak .186/.260/.271 slash line with only two home runs, eight RBI, 17 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 46 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 29-year-old switch-hitter will strictly provide Boston with outfield depth if he sticks around with the organization. Allen is a career .232/.299/.336 hitter with a .635 OPS and 10 home runs in six big-league seasons. His greatest asset is probably his speed, as he's swiped 45 bases in 282 games played.

Greg Allen Placed On 60-Day Injured List
Greg Allen (hamstring) on the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Right-handed pitcher Adonis Medina has also been designated for assignment. Allen suffered a hamstring injury in a Grapefruit League game last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays and will be on the shelf to open the 2022 campaign. He will miss at least the first two months of the season after slashing .294/.538/.765 with two home runs, a triple, seven runs, four RBI and four stolen bases in spring training. The 29-year-old played in 15 games with the New York Yankees last year and hit .270 with no homers, two RBI and five stolen bases in 48 plate appearances.
