LOS ANGELES (CNS) — The Los Angeles Dodgers' All-Star Game selections and manager Dave Roberts were presented with their official all-star jerseys before Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler and third baseman Justin Turner were among seven players added Saturday to the National League's roster as replacements for players unable to participate in Tuesday's game in Denver. Outfielders Mookie Betts and Chris Taylor and first baseman Max Muncy were among the initial All-Star selections announced last Sunday.
Betts has opted of the game because of injury. He has battled shoulder, wrist and back injuries this season.
The All-Star selections are the fifth for Betts, second for Buehler, Muncy and Turner and first for Taylor.
This is the seventh consecutive time the Dodgers have had at least three All-Stars.
Roberts will manage the National League All-Star team by virtue of the Dodgers winning the 2020 National League championship. Roberts also managed the National League all-star team in the 2018 and 2019 All-Star Games, both won by the American League.
For the first time since the 1930s, All-Star Game participants will be wearing special jerseys instead of those they wear with their teams during the season.
