Xander Bogaerts grabbed his second straight and fourth overall All-Star selection Sunday as a reserve shortstop on the American League team. He and starting third baseman Rafael Devers will represent the Red Sox on July 19 at Dodger Stadium.
“It’s special, you know. I feel like every time it’s different,” said Bogaerts in comments provided by the Red Sox. “It’s definitely something that in the offseason you have in your mind. If you want to say you have some goals set, I think obviously, every player individually would want something like this. To experience it at least once, I feel like if you’re deserving and you get nominated, it’s special.
