CHICAGO • The Cardinals officially announced 10-game winner Miles Mikolas as their pitcher Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds at Busch Stadium. The game will be the Cardinals’ final one before the All-Star break and that means that officially, Mikolas won’t be on the active roster for the National League All-Star team.
Any pitcher who starts the Sunday before the Tuesday All-Star Game is taken off the roster and replaced. Mikolas still will enjoy all the trappings of his first All-Star experience but will yield his spot to Los Angeles’ Ross Stripling, who is 7-2 with a 2.
