ARLINGTON, Texas -- Two-time World Series MVP Corey Seager has been named to the American League All-Star roster as a replacement for injured Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, giving the reigning champion and host Texas Rangers a third player in Tuesday night's game.
Correa was held out of Minnesota's 3-2 loss at San Francisco on Sunday after undergoing an MRI which revealed plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Correa is still expected to attend the All-Star activities in Arlington, Texas.
Seager, going to his fifth All-Star Game, will join Texas second baseman Marcus Semien and reliever Kirby Yates on the AL squad for Rangers manager Bruce Bochy.
