Jordan Shusterman names his top three players who deserved a trip to Los Angeles for the MLB All-Star Game but were snubbed. Do you agree?
Seager added for AL's bench
One player who ultimately was not snubbed was Texas Rangers slugger Corey Seager. He replaces Toronto outfielder George Springer, who has opted to skip the festivities to rest his balky elbow.
Roster stuffle!
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez is now a starter in place of the Houston Astros' Jose Altuve, who injured his knee this week. Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Santiago Espinal, Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley and Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson were also added to the roster.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Ty France was added to the AL roster in place of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout who will no longer participate.
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is joining the National League, replacing New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte.
Who's in the Home Run Derby?
The first name revealed as a participant in the 2022 Home Run Derby was back-to-back defending champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets.
