Cueto’s chances of starting All-Star Game improve
Johnny Cueto’s chances of starting Tuesday’s All-Star Game improved in recent days.
Clayton Kershaw is on the disabled list.
dergaard left Friday’s start with arm fatigue.
Stephen Strasburg was removed from the roster after making two starts since coming off the disabled list.
Catcher Buster Posey, elected by fans to start, said, I definitely feel like he should be considered.
Usually, pitchers who pitch Sunday aren’t officially replaced on All-Star rosters before they actually appear in the Sunday game, and Bochy wasn’t pleased that MLB already announced Bumgarner was replaced by Bartolo Colon.
MLB and the union handled the Bumgarner case differently for logistical reasons.
The Giants play Sunday night while the Mets play during the day in New York, and Colon would need to fly cross country to San Diego.
