Brandon Allen - 1B

Adam Rubin of ESPN NY writes that first baseman Brandon Allen, who suffered a calf strain in big-league camp during spring training and has been rehabbing with St. Lucie Mets (A+) the past week, should join Las Vegas soon.

In four games with St. Lucie Mets Allen is batting .385/.600/.538 and has played two games at first base, one at DH and one in right field.

Brandon Allen will play in his first game of the 2014 season with the St. Lucie Mets tonight when they visit the Fort Myers Miracle for a three game series.

During a Grapefruit League match-up between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals back on March 13th, Allen sustained a calf injury in the final inning of the game and was removed.

In his first spring with the Mets, he batted .174/.208/.174 with two RBI in 23 at-bats.

Now Allen looks to get his season started as he bats clean-up in an already potent Mets offense, led by Brandon Nimmo (.400), T.J. Rivera (.378) and the surging Dilson Herrera(.364), who as a team lead the Florida State League with 132 hits, 27 doubles, 188 total bases, .290 Avg, .356 OBP, .413 Slug, in 13 games so far.
