Despite not being voted in, Ryan Braun will make another start in the MLB All-Star Game after all.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, who has been on the disabled list since late May with a hamstring injury, officially pulled out of the July 10th contest on Tuesday. Braun, who was voted as a reserve by his fellow players, will start in his place.40 year-old Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves, in his final season, will take Kemp's roster spot on the National League team. Jones had been a candidate for the NL's "Final Vote."
Braun is the only Brewers player who will take part in the All-Star Game, which will take place at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City.
