The Royals announced today that they will actually have three representatives at the All-Star Game. In addition to Bobby Witt Jr. and Kris Bubic, Carlos Estévez has been selected as an alternate for Texas Ranger Jacob DeGrom, who is scheduled to pitch Saturday and therefore is considered unavailable to pitch in the All-Star Game.
Estévez has pitched quite well this season with a 2.03 ERA and is tied for the AL lead with 25 saves. He has blown three save opportunities, but two came in extra innings, and the Royals still came back and won one of those, plus the game where he blew the save in the ninth.
