ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez is set for his first All-Star Game appearance as the replacement for Chris Sale. The Atlanta lefty is scheduled to start for the Braves in the final game before the break. The game is Tuesday night at the home of the Texas Rangers. The Phillies have an MLB-leading eight All-Stars. The Phillies have three All-Stars in their rotation, but only Sánchez has a chance to participate. Right-hander Zack Wheeler had already been ruled out because of back spasms, and lefty Ranger Suárez is out for the same reason. Suárez was replaced by Atlanta’s Max Fried.
