Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson could rely heavily on a division rival's players when he takes charge of the National League lineup in Tuesday night's All-Star Game in Seattle.
Eight Atlanta Braves made the All-Star team, including three starters: catcher Sean Murphy, shortstop OrlandoArcia and outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who earned the most All-Star fan votes of any player.
But from his roster of reserves, Thomson can slot in three more Braves -- Matt Olson at first base, Ozzie Albies at second and Austin Riley at third -- and play with the entire Atlanta infield if he so chooses.
