The 2024 MLB All-Star Game is set for next week at Truist Park, and Atlanta Braves fans have extra reason to cheer — three hometown favorites will be part of the action.
On Sunday, the league unveiled its full roster of reserves for the Midsummer Classic, and Braves first baseman Matt Olson and pitcher Chris Sale were named to the National League team. They’ll join outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., who was previously selected as a starter, bringing the Braves’ total to three players in this year’s All-Star lineup.
Although this marks Sale’s ninth career All-Star selection, he won’t be taking the mound.
