Kansas City Royals closer Carlos Estévez on Friday was named to replace Texas' Jacob deGrom on the American League roster for the All-Star Game. DeGrom will be inactive because his scheduled start for the Rangers' game at Houston on Saturday night falls too close to Tuesday's All-Star Game. DeGrom will travel to Atlanta and participate in All-Star activities.
