Despite having a fantastic season both at the plate and in the field, Walker did not make the All Star reserves roster
Arizona Diamondbacks star first baseman Christian Walker has been snubbed for selection as a reserve for the MLB 2024 All-Star Game to be held July 14th at Globe Life Field. The reserves are chosen through a combination of player voting and commissioner's office selections. Managers have not had a say in the roster since 2017.
There is still a possibility that Walker could be named to the roster as an injury replacement. Anthony Castrovince of MLBWho picks the replacements for injured players or those who decline to participate? Many have speculated that Bryce Harper may not be able to return from his hamstring injury in time for the game. But theindicates he he has been running on the field prior to the last two games and may be activated from the injured list as early as Tuesday.
None of that was enough to get Walker into the game unfortunately. It should be noted that the player voting concluded last Sunday, prior to the start of Walker's historic series in Los Angeles.
