Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen has been named to his fourth All-Star Game, the league announced on Sunday.
He will also be Boston’s lone player representative in Seattle.
Rafael Devers, Alex Verdugo, Masataka Yoshida and Chris Martin were all among the snubs who did not make the American League roster. As a result the Red Sox will have their fewest All-Stars since 2015, when Brock Holt was the club’s lone selection.
The Red Sox have had at least three every season since then.
Devers was beaten out for a reserve infield spot by Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez and by Toronto’s Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Whit Merrifield, all of whom were voted in on the player ballot.
Verdugo and Yoshida didn’t get any traction with their fellow players either, with Baltimore’s Austin Hays, Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and Texas’ Adolis Garcia all earning their spots via player vote. Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. was also selected by MLB as his club’s lone All-Star representative.
Jansen, who was also selected by MLB, earned the honor after recording 17 saves through the first half while posting a 3.45 ERA in 30 appearances. Jansen was previously an All-Star three straight years between 2016-18.
There will be a number of former Red Sox representing their new teams. Nathan Eovaldi, now in his first year with the Texas Rangers, was the top vote-getter among American League starting pitchers. Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez, both now with the Los Angeles Dodgers, were both voted in as starters by the fans.
Atlanta dominated the National League roster with eight total selections, including the club’s entire infield. Texas led the American League with six selections, Toronto had four and Angels two-way start Shohei Ohtani was selected as both a pitcher and designated hitter for the third straight season.
Red Sox strength coach Kiyoshi Momose will also take part as a member of the American League’s coaching staff.
The All-Star Game will be held at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park on Tuesday, July 11. Here are the compete rosters.
