TORONTO — The Yankees will find out Sunday what kind of traveling party they’ll be sending to Washington for the All-Star Game, which will be played at Nationals Park on July 17.
They already know right fielder Aaron Judge, who is second in the American League with 25 homers and tied for eighth with 58 RBI, is a guarantee to have been voted in by fans as a starter.
How early departing Hicks, Chapman were feeling after win
They know ace Luis Severino, the major league leader with 14 wins, is going.
And they know closer Arodis Chapman, who has a 1.42 ERA with 66 strikeouts in 38 innings plus 24 saves in 25 chances, surely is going, too.
Judge thinks the Yankees, who improved to 57-29 with their 8-5 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday, deserve a bigger All-Star contingent.
“We’ve got a really good team here,” Judge said. “A lot of great young players. We’ll see when the final rosters come out. We should have a little bit more than three guys on there.”
Other Yankees candidates to be selected by players or MLB include two rookies – second baseman Gleyber Torres (who is currently on the DL) and third baseman Miguel Andujar – and three relievers – Dellin Betances, Jonathan Holder, Chad Green.
“Look, I think you could make a case for probably eight, 10, 12 guys that either should be going to the game or are certainly on the outskirts knocking on the door potentially,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “I think when you’ve had the kind of first half that we’ve had, as a result you’re going to have players that are up for consideration. Hopefully we get well represented in DC.”
