New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon was named to the American League All-Star team on Friday, replacing teammate Max Fried.
It is the third All-Star selection for Rodon, 32, who made the AL squad with the Chicago White Sox in 2021 and the National League roster with the San Francisco Giants in 2022.
Rodon entered Friday with a 9-6 record and a 3.30 ERA through 19 starts this season. He has struck out 127 batters and walked 40 in 111 2/3 innings.
Rodon was New York's scheduled starter for Friday night's series opener against the visiting Chicago Cubs, which gives him three days of rest before Tuesday's All-Star Game in Atlanta.
