The Cleveland Indians have made a surprise roster move and called up outfielder Greg Allen as part of the September roster expansion. Allen is currently not on the 40-man roster, so a move will have to be made before he can officially be called up. Per Keith Law, the Indians plan on doing so tomorrow.
Allen, who was drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, became a fan-favorite among Akron RubberDucks fans last year with his impressive .290/.399/.441 slash, great outfield defense, and speed on the bases. His 2016 campaign was so successful, that he was almost shipped away in the failed Jonathan Lucroy trade.
