It’s the second All-Star appearance and start for Javier Baez and Willson Contreras. The Cubs’ Kris Bryant will also appear in the game. I can say that with some certainty, as the managers generally like to get all the players in the game if they can. Bryant is likely to play after the other selected N.L. third-base reserve, Anthony Rendon, announced he will not participate in the game. Rendon was replaced on the N.L. roster by Max Muncy, who does play some third base, but I’d expect Bryant to be the first 3B reserve in the game.
