David Peterson Joins NL All-Star Roster, Replacing Robbie Ray

David Peterson, a left-handed pitcher for the New York Mets, has been named to the National League All-Star roster, taking the place of San Francisco's Robbie Ray. This marks a significant milestone for Peterson, as it is his first selection to the All-Star Game.

With a record of 6-4 and an impressive 3.06 ERA over 18 starts this season, Peterson showcased his skills in a recent outing against Baltimore, where he delivered over seven innings of one-run pitching despite the Mets falling 3-1.

Peterson now joins fellow Mets players Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Edwin Díaz as representatives for the team at the All-Star event.

Robbie Ray, who has been a standout for the Giants this season with a 9-3 record and a 2.63 ERA across 19 starts, will not participate in the Midsummer Classic scheduled for Tuesday night in Atlanta. Instead, he is set to take the mound for the Giants in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

The Giants will still have three players featured in the All-Star lineup: Ray, right-hander Logan Webb, and reliever Randy Rodríguez, highlighting the team's competitive edge this season.
