Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez has been named as a replacement for Atlanta lefty Chris Sale in the upcoming All-Star Game, marking his first appearance in the prestigious event. Sale, who is scheduled to start for the Braves on Sunday, will not be participating in the Midsummer Classic, paving the way for Sánchez to join the roster.
Sánchez's inclusion brings the Phillies' total number of All-Stars to eight, setting a new franchise record. The game is set to take place on Tuesday night at the home of the Texas Rangers, with Philadelphia heading into the break as the only team in Major League Baseball with over 60 victories.
