Elly De La Cruz and Andrew Abbott will represent the Cincinnati Reds at next week's MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta after Abbott's selection Tuesday.

"It's not frustration, those guys that got picked deserved it, by far," Abbott said on Sunday. "I mean, I think I did enough to deserve it, but at the end of the day, I don't control it, so I don't put a lot on it.

Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott learned of his MLB All-Star selection in the first inning Tuesday and immediately texted his parents at the game.
