National League All-Star manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu will replace Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon in the starting lineup of this year's All-Star game.
LeMahieu has had a solid first half for the Rockies, as he owns a .310 batting average following his 1-for-3 day at the plate on Saturday. LeMahieu, who was selected to his first All-Star game last weekend, was the winner of the players' vote, which is why Bochy elected to have him start the game, according to CSN Bay Area.
Gordon, who had been voted by the fans to start, was forced out of the Midsummer Classic after dislocating his thumb on Saturday.
