Castro added to American League All-Star roster
Willi Castro has been added to the American League All-Star roster. It’s the first All-Star Game selection for Castro, who has been added to the junior circuit’s roster as an injury replacement for Jose Altuve, who is skipping the game due to a left hand ailment. It’ll be Marcus Semien taking over at the keystone to start next week’s Midsummer Classic.
Ramos launches 14th home run of season
Heliot Ramos launched his 14th home run of the season on Thursday in the Giants’ loss to the Blue Jays. Ramos, who is headed to next week’s Midsummer Classic as a reserve, extended his on-base streak to 11 consecutive games by taking Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman deep in the opening frame for a two-run blast to left field. It wound up being his lone hit in four at-bats during Thursday’s afternoon matinee at Oracle Park, but it was his fourth round-tripper in nine contests since the start of July. The 24-year-old former top prospect has delivered one of the more unexpected first-half breakthroughs, batting .300 (67-for-223) with 14 homers, 45 RBI and two steals through 57 games. He’s on a 40-homer pace since arriving in the big leagues back in early May. That’ll work.
