The Phillies are eager to put their feet up after getting a leg up on the National League East. The Phillies defeated the Padres, 2-1, on Sunday afternoon at Petco, and with the win, they scooted past the Mets for the divisional lead.
As more players drop out of the game, Major League Baseball replaces them. On Friday night, the league announced that Jacob Misiorowski would join the All-Star Game, despite making just five career starts. Trea Turner did not hold back in his criticism of the league for opting to go with Misiorowski over his teammate Cristopher Sánchez.
Featured in the All-Star break edition of MLB Power Rankings, Jacob Misiorowski and Aaron Judge make history for different reasons, the Phillies do Cristopher Sánchez a solid, the Red Sox are suddenly the hottest team in the majors, the Angels surprise with their decision for the No. 2 pick, and the Rockies absolutely nail it.
