The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t have one player named when American League and National League starters were named for the 2017 All-Star Game, but the club was represented by four All-Stars. Not included, however, were notable snubs Justin Turner and Alex Wood.
That changed in the days after the initial rosters were announced, as Turner won the Final Vote and Wood was named as a replacement for Clayton Kershaw. The All-Star selections are a career first for Cody Bellinger, Turner and Wood.
Upon learning he won the Final Vote with a record 20.8 million votes, Turner expressed his gratitude for the groundswell of support.
