Chris Sale has been named an All-Star for the second straight year. This is quite the accomplishment for the 36-year old who hadn't been an All-Star since 2018 and missed the entirety of the 2020 season after having Tommy John surgery.

San Diego Padres closer Robert Suarez is replacing Atlanta Braves' Chris Sale on the National League All-Star roster.

Three Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Chris Sale — were named to the 2024 MLB All-Star roster. Chris Sale was selected but will not pitch due to a rib injury sustained last month. Matt Olson called it a "full circle moment" to play his first All-Star Game in his hometown of Atlanta.
