As more and more National League pitchers dropped out of participating in the All-Star Game this week — Zack Wheeler included — the absence of Phillies starters Ranger Suárez and Cristopher Sánchez from the roster became more and more glaring.

Unfortunately for the Philadelphia Phillies fans, they won’t get to see Zack Wheeler — and certainly not Ranger Suárez — in this year’s All-Star Game. It’s a decision that may have caught some by surprise,

Philadelphia Phillies pitchers are near the front of the line when it comes to complaining about Jacob Misiorowski's All-Star nod.

Suarez broke out as a bona fide ace with the Phillies in an All-Star season last year that saw him post a 3.46 ERA with 145 total strikeouts. Though he has struggled with injuries throughout his career and missed the beginning of this season, he has a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts so far.

Ranger Suárez pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies edged the Atlanta Braves 2-1 to take the three-game series.
