Zack Wheeler skips All-Star game to focus on health, replaced by Padres' Adrian Morejon.

Zack Wheeler, a strong candidate for the National League's starting pitcher, will not participate in the All-Star game to prioritize his health for the season's second half. Instead, Padres reliever Adrian Morejon will join the All-Star roster. This decision follows a trend with five NL pitchers opting out. Phillies fans, disappointed by Wheeler’s absence, also noted that other players like Trea Turner were overlooked.
