Ross Stripling is a 2018 All-Star.
The Dodgers right-hander was added to the National League roster on Wednesday for this year's All-Star Game presented by Mastercard in Washington, D.C. Stripling replaces the Cardinals' Miles Mikolas, who is pitching on Sunday and will be unavailable for Tuesday's Midsummer Classic.
This is the first All-Star nod for Stripling, who has been a breakout star on the Dodgers' pitching staff over the first half of the season. The 28-year-old is 7-2 with a 2.22 ERA and 103 strikeouts in 89 1/3 innings.
After opening the season in the bullpen, Stripling moved to the starting rotation after it was hit hard by injuries.
