Misiorowski, a rookie who has made five starts this season, was initially confused on why the Phillies singled him out. But the pitcher says Schwarber made him "feel welcome" at the All-Star Game.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski didn't anticipate the blowback, but he understands why some are unhappy over his selection as an All-Star Game replacement after just five starts in the major leagues.

Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen, a first-time All-Star, is replacing Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, who is scheduled to start Saturday night at Arizona. Rasmussen is 7-5 with a 2.82 ERA in 18 starts.
