Buster Posey Will Miss All-Star Game Due to Hip Injury

If Giants fans want to see two players representing their team during next week's All-Star Game, they will need to make sure Brandon Belt wins the Final Vote for the NL as catcher Buster Posey will miss the exhibition contest, according to multiple reports.

The 2012 NL MVP is dealing with a right hip inflammation, and San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy told reporters his catcher will get an injection for his injury after Sunday's game and then use the All-Star break to rest.

Bochy said the injury has hurt Posey's power at the plate.
