Sunday’s Dodgers game in San Francisco is their final game before the All-Star break, but for several on the team there won’t be much of a break at all. Five Dodgers players were selected to the midsummer classic, plus manager Dave Roberts and his coaching staff will also head to Atlanta to helm the National League squad.
Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, first baseman Freddie Freeman, and catcher Will Smith were voted to start the All-Star Game, and they’ll be joined by pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Clayton Kershaw, the latter a “legend pick” by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. Yamamoto is pitching Sunday in San Francisco and won’t be eligible to pitch in Atlanta, and was already replaced on the All-Star roster.
