Overview

  • MLB announced via Twitter that Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott would replace Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the National League All-Star roster.
  • Abbott has posted a 7-1 record and 2.15 ERA over 15 starts, logging one of six complete-game shutouts and limiting opponents to one run or fewer in 12 outings.
  • He learned of his first All-Star selection in the first inning and celebrated in the dugout with high-fives, ice and bubble gum from teammates.
  • Yamamoto was declared ineligible because MLB rules bar pitchers scheduled to start on the Sunday of the All-Star Game.
  • Shortstop Elly De La Cruz is Cincinnati’s other player named to the National League All-Star team this year.
