The Phillies criticized MLB after two of their pitchers weren't named replacements but Jacob Misiorowski, after five starts, made the team.

Several players on the Philadelphia Phillies, including Trea Turner, had choice words about Christopher Sanchez and Ranger Suárez not being selected as reserves for the All-Star Game. Designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is the only Phillie who was elected to play in the All-Star Game and stated it’s unfortunate and he wishes his teammates were there.
