If he’s named the starter, as expected, it’s an honor that validates a remarkable first half for the first-year Giant.

The 2016 MLB All_Star Game will be broadcasted on FOX. Judge got hurt diving for a fly ball in Friday’s game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was placed on the seven-day disabled list.
