Philadelphia Phillies' Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber call on MLB to alter the rules to allow Cristopher Sanchez and Ranger Saurez to earn All-Star honors.

Philadelphia Phillies players were up in arms that Christopher Sanchez or Ranger Suarez weren't named All-Star Game replacements, but their outrage is completely unwarranted once you understand the facts.

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.

If the Phillies were going to get to the Padres Friday night at Petco Park, they had best planned to do it early. Padres starter Ryan Bergert hadn’t gone into the sixth inning yet this season and hadn’t started a game since June 24.

Ranger Suárez has piled up enough pitches and innings this season for the reigning NL East champion Phillies to fit the modern definition of a workhorse.

The Philadelphia Phillies are predicted to lose star pitcher Ranger Suarez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a potential trade.

One of the hottest names swirling around the July 31 MLB trade deadline is Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez.
