(AP) — Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez will no longer be playing in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Houston third baseman Isaac Paredes was picked Wednesday to replace Ramírez, who had been the starting third baseman. The Guardians said Ramírez wanted “to focus on recovery and preparation for the second half of the season.”

It’s rare to see a team go as ice-cold at the plate as the Cleveland Guardians have over their past 10 games. Cleveland has scored only 1.5 runs per game during that span and has been shut out five times during this losing streak.
