Red Sox's Willson Contreras and Sonny Gray excluded from All-Star Game roster

Summary

The Boston Red Sox announced their All-Star Game representatives, with Ranger Suárez and Aroldis Chapman making the roster. However, first baseman Willson Contreras and pitcher Sonny Gray were left off, despite strong individual performances this season. Contreras leads the team in multiple offensive categories, while Gray boasts the lowest ERA among American League starters not selected. Their omissions are seen as significant snubs in the buildup to the All-Star Game on July 14. The Red Sox are currently aiming for a sweep against the Los Angeles Angels, with Suárez starting in Sunday's final game of the series.
