ATLANTA, JUL 8 – The 2025 MLB All-Star rosters include 19 first-time players and require every team to have at least one representative, leading to notable snubs despite strong individual performances.
- Andrew Abbott, a 26-year-old left-handed pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, was named as a National League All-Star replacement for the Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Tuesday.
- Abbott returned to action on April 12 following a left shoulder strain sustained during spring training and has since compiled a 7-1 record with a 2.15 ERA over 83 2/3 innings across 15 starts.
- The 2025 MLB All-Star Game will take place on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, starting at 8 p.m., featuring representatives from all 30 teams and highlighting 19 players making their debut, including Andrew Abbott and Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz.
- Andrew Abbott expressed confidence in his selection, saying he believed he earned the honor initially, while Reds manager Terry Francona described the news as "actually wonderful" following the team's defeat to Miami.
- Abbott’s selection highlights the depth of NL pitching talent and underscores that despite deserving candidates like Juan Soto missing the game, each season includes notable All-Star snubs.
