ST. PETERSBURG — LHP Blake Snell and C Wilson Ramos have earned spots on the American League All-Star team, and only injury, trade or an unexpected roster crunch will keep them from heading to Washington for this month's game.
Snell takes the mound for Sunday's series finale against the Astros and AL All-Star manager A.J. Hinch at 10-4, 2.31, ranking third in the majors in wins and third in the league in ERA.
If Snell isn't among the pitchers voted in on the players' ballot, he is expected to be added to the roster by MLB officials.
