Last week, it was announced that Willson Contreras had been elected the starting catcher for the National League for this year’s All-Star Game, which will be played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles July 19. It will be Contreras’ third All-Star Game.
Today, the rest of the rosters were announced and Contreras will have a teammate join him as Ian Happ was named as a reserve for the NL squad, his first All-Star selection.
Coming into Sunday’s game, Happ was hitting .277/.372/.449 (81-for-292) with 22 doubles, two triples and eight home runs, while playing primarily left field for the Cubs.
