Brandon Allen went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk Monday for Triple-A Reno.

The reports on Allen's play in left field have been good, but the Diamondbacks weren't ready to promote him to help replace the injured Conor Jackson in the lineup. For one thing, he's off to a slow start offensively. Even after last night, he's hitting .186/.321/.419 in 43 at-bats.
