Willson Contreras is added to the American League roster for the MLB All-Star Game as an injury replacement. After being left off the initial All-Star team, the Red Sox first baseman is named to the AL squad Tuesday, three days after the original announcement, according to one report. Other coverage highlights his current performance level entering the selection. At age 34, Contreras is producing a strong offensive season, with a batting average of .284 and a .921 OPS. Reports also cite his power and extra-base production, including 15 doubles and 20 home runs. The change reflects the league’s standard process for updating All-Star rosters when players are unable to participate due to injuries or other issues. Both sources describe the same timeline and selection outcome: Contreras, representing the Boston Red Sox, replaces an unavailable player on the American League team and joins the All-Star roster after a late call-up.
