What happened: Play was paused for an injury delay involving Nick Allen during Wednesday's game, with the score at 6-4 in the bottom of the sixth inning. The stoppage came as attention turned to Allen on the field.

Why it matters: Any in-game injury delay puts a regular's availability in question, and losing an everyday infielder for a stretch would ripple through the lineup and defensive alignment down the middle for the rest of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Watch for a status update after the game to learn whether Allen exited or was able to stay in.
