James McCann is an MLB all-star for the first time.
The 29-year-old catcher will be the back up for the American League on July 9 in Cleveland. McCann, who is in his first season with the Chicago White Sox, finished second to New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez in all-star voting last week, but was one of the reserves who were announced Sunday.
McCann has had an offensive resurgence since his offseason move to Chicago from Detroit, where he played five seasons for the Tigers.
Through 57 games McCann is batting .320 with 14 doubles, 9 home runs and 27 RBI.
