Phillies Trio Named to MLB All-Star Game

The Philadelphia Phillies are sending three infielders to the MLB All-Star Game in Texas, with Alec Bohm, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner named as starters for the National League. This marks Bohm's first All-Star selection, and he expressed excitement about sharing the field with his teammates. Bohm's journey to this point has been challenging, including a low point in August 2021 when he temporarily lost his job. Under manager Rob Thomson, Bohm has significantly improved, leading the National League with 70 RBIs this season and becoming a reliable defensive player. Turner's selection comes despite an injury that kept him out for six weeks, and Harper returns to the All-Star Game for the first time since 2019, now making his first start at first base.
