The Atlanta Braves suffered one injury after another in their road series at the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Atlanta Braves’ injury woes have deepened following a concerning incident involving shortstop Nick Allen during their doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. Allen, who has been a defensive stalwart for the Braves, was struck on the hand by a pitch during the second game of the series. He was immediately removed from the game for precautionary reasons.
Fortunately, initial evaluations suggest that Allen has avoided any fractures. However, he is expected to undergo further imaging to rule out any soft tissue damage. The Braves are hopeful that Allen will be able to return to the lineup soon, but his status remains day-to-day.
This injury adds to the Braves’ growing list of concerns, as they have already been managing injuries to several key players. The team will be closely monitoring Allen’s condition in the coming days to determine the best course of action.
For now, the Braves are preparing for their upcoming series against the Boston Red Sox, with the first game scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025, at 4:15 PM PDT. The team is hopeful that Allen’s injury will not sideline him for an extended period, as they look to maintain their momentum in the National League standings.
