The MLB All-Star Game is set to kick off on Tuesday night. However, recent injury updates will leave some of the game's best infielders on the sideline. Obviously, fans and the players themselves would love to see these stars participate in the Midsummer Classic, but prioritizing the regular season is key for everyone involved.
