ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez is set for his first All-Star Game appearance as the replacement for Atlanta lefty Chris Sale, who is scheduled to start for the Braves on Sunday and won't pitch in the Midsummer Classic.
The addition of Sánchez on Saturday pushes the Phillies' MLB-leading total to eight All-Stars, adding to the franchise record.
The game is Tuesday night at the home of the Texas Rangers. Philadelphia will go into the break as the only team in the big leagues with at least 60 victories.
Sánchez is the third member of Philadelphia's rotation to get an All-Star nod, but the only one who might participate.
