Jacob deGrom Replaced on AL All-Star Roster But Will Still Attend Activities

Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom has been replaced on the American League All-Star roster by Royals closer Carlos Estévez. DeGrom's removal is due to his scheduled start for the Rangers' game at Houston falling too close to Tuesday's All-Star Game. Despite not playing, deGrom is still expected to travel to Atlanta and participate in All-Star activities.
