HOUSTON — For Jacob deGrom, family man, going to the All-Star Game is of utmost importance. For Jacob deGrom, the 37-year-old, the pitching part is better left to the younger, less experienced and less surgically repaired.

While Rangers star pitcher Jacob deGrom won't pitch at the All-Star game, there is a catch with his situation.

Kansas City Royals closer Carlos Estévez on Friday was named to replace Texas' Jacob deGrom on the American League roster for the All-Star Game.
