Tonight in Washington, baseball’s best players and brightest stars will gather at Nationals Park for the 89th annual All-Star Game. The MLB All-Star Game is, by frickin’ far, the best All-Star Game among the four major North American sports. It is not even a contest.
The Yankees have four All-Stars this season: Aroldis Chapman, Aaron Judge, Luis Severino, and Gleyber Torres. Only two will play in the game, however. Chapman withdrew from the All-Star Game due to his achy left knee, and Torres is currently on the disabled list with a hip issue. They’re in Washington and will be part of the baseline introductions, though neither will play tonight.
