Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom has been replaced on the AL All-Star team by a Kansas City Royals star relief picher.

While Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom won't pitch at the All-Star game, there is a catch with his situation.

HOUSTON — For Jacob deGrom, family man, going to the All-Star Game is of utmost importance. For Jacob deGrom, the 37-year-old, the pitching part is better left to the younger, less experienced and less surgically repaired.
