Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott will pitch in the All-Star Game and is expected to pitch around the fifth or sixth inning, according to Charlie Goldsmith. The left-hander is having the best season of his career with a 2.07 ERA, a WHIP of 1.08, and 83 strikeouts in 16 starts for Cincinnati. “It definitely feels nice to be recognized,” Abbott said. With Hunter Greene being forced to miss a lot of time this season, Abbott has taken over the “ace” role.
