Marcus Semien to Start MLB All-Star Game

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien will start in the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, replacing Houston Astros' José Altuve, who is sidelined with a sore hand. This will be Semien's third consecutive start in the All-Star Game and makes him the first second baseman in Rangers history to achieve this honor back-to-back. Minnesota Twins infielder Willi Castro will replace Altuve on the AL roster. Semien, alongside right-handed pitcher Kirby Yates, represents the Rangers, marking the fifth straight year the team has multiple All-Stars. The All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday at Globe Life Field, managed by Rangers' Bruce Bochy.
