All the MLB All-Star Game roster replacements in one spot

The initial rosters for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game were announced Sunday, and the Final Vote contest determined the 32nd spot for both the American League and National League. But the roster maneuvering isn’t over yet. There are still additions to be made, and you can keep track of them here, all in one spot.

Replacements are named every year for the midsummer classic, some for injuries and others because of starters pitching on the Sunday prior to the All-Star Game itself. The latter was the case for Justin Verlander of the Astros, Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals and Jon Lester of the Cubs.

In 2017 there were seven replacements added in the week between roster announcements and the game itself. In 2016 there were nine. Here are all the All-Star additions for 2018:

Zack Greinke

The Diamondbacks right-hander is having a fine year in his third year of his record six-year, $206.5 million contract. Greinke has a 3.39 ERA in 19 starts and more strikeouts (117) than innings (114). He replaces Lester on the NL roster, for his fifth career All-Star appearance and second in a row.

Greinke is also hitting .294/.351/.382 this season. If a pitcher were to actually hit in an All-Star Game, Greinke would probably be the one.

Ross Stripling

The Dodgers pitcher started the season in the bullpen but was pressed into starting duty when 80% of the club’s opening day rotation were on the disabled list at once. Stripling has been excellent in his third season, posting a 2.22 ERA with 103 strikeouts against only 13 walks. Stripling replaces Mikolas on the NL squad.

Jed Lowrie

Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres was voted an American League All-Star by the players, but is sidelined with a right hip strain. That opened the door for Lowrie, who has already matched his career high in home runs (16) and makes his first All-Star team in his 11th season.

Yadier Molina

Buster Posey was elected to the NL All-Star team by player vote but won’t play as the Giants catcher battles hip inflammation. That paved the way for Cardinals veteran backstop Yadier Molina to make his ninth All-Star team in the last 10 years.

Other

Nationals closer Sean Doolittle was placed on the disabled list with a pinched nerve in his foot and won’t pitch in the game. His NL replacement hasn’t yet been named, but Doolittle’s All-Star status has been forever cemented.
