Daily News | Phillies’ Bryce Harper voted as National League All-Star DH; won’t attend game because of broken thumb
, Harper held on to win the fan voting as the National League’s designated hitter in the 92nd annual All-Star Game, Major League Baseball announced Friday night. The Phillies star will be replaced on the NL roster and said he won’t attend the game on July 19 at Dodger Stadium “to focus on working out, getting back, and enjoying the down time with my family.”
It marks Harper’s seventh All-Star selection, but his first since 2018. He was still with the Washington Nationals then. He got passed over in 2019 and last year with the Phillies, and the All-Star Game wasn’t played in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Harper is the first Phillies player to be elected as a starter since Chase Utley in 2014. J.T. Realmuto wound up in the NL’s lineup last year because injured San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey could not play.
