What happened: MLB finalized its 2026 All-Star rosters for the July 14 game in Philadelphia. Sonny Gray was left off the American League pitching staff despite reaching 10 wins.
Why it matters: The omission places Gray among the most prominent candidates for a replacement spot. All-Star rosters can change as injuries and pitching availability alter the initial selections.
By the numbers: Gray became a 10-game winner on July 4. Each league carries 23 pitchers and reserves selected through the player ballot and the Commissioner’s Office.
What to watch: Roster replacements and pitcher availability will be monitored before the July 14 game.
