Robert will be the team’s only All-Star representative as of now.
Robert, 25, has enjoyed a breakout campaign that – not without its ups and downs – was more than deserving of a starting spot in the All-Star Game that fan voting did not give him. Entering Sunday afternoon’s game against the Athletics, Robert was hitting .276/.333/.574 with a 146 wRC+ and 3.7 fWAR – tied for third in all of baseball in terms of overall value. He also has a career-high 24 home runs and 46 RBIs in 344 plate appearances this year.
In June, Luis Robert Jr….
