Most every All-Star Game snub was settled Friday when Major League Baseball added seven players to American and National league rosters as replacements for injured players or pitchers starting this weekend.
The lone National League addition, Alex Wood, will replace his fellow Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw, who starts on Sunday. Wood has started the season 10-0 with a 1.67 ERA.
Added to the AL squad for Tuesday's game in Miami: Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano, Tampa Bay ace Chris Archer, relievers Chris Devenski (Houston), Roberto Osuna (Toronto) and Brandon Kintzler (Minnesota) and Detroit outfielder Justin Upton.
Devenski's addition gives the Astros a major league-high six All-Stars.
