It is Kershaw’s 10th All-Star selection, tying the franchise record, and the first for Smith. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and J.D. Martinez had been voted to the NL starting lineup.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Validation delayed was not validation denied for Will Smith.
Smith finished behind Braves catcher Sean Murphy in both the fan and player voting. His first All-Star selection comes just a few months after he played for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. It’s an experience Smith probably played well enough to earn in 2021 or 2022, but he was left off the team.
“I think he deserved it,” Smith said. “His numbers were a little better, so congrats to him. I’m happy for him. Obviously I wanted to be in there as the starter. But if you don’t like it, you just have to play a little better.”Kershaw threw in the outfield again Sunday morning and “there was progress,” according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. But there is no decision yet on whether Kershaw will start Monday or go to the Injured List.
Kershaw would not comment on his throwing session or status Sunday. But his desire to pitch even with a sore shoulder appears to be putting the Dodgers in a bind. “But that’s still very unlikely. … It’s most likely either tomorrow or a potential IL. And I think that for us, appreciating the schedule, the All Star break coming up, potential games lost, that wouldn’t be lost because of the break — if there is any time for us to do this, and to give him a little re-set, this would be it.”
