Three Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Chris Sale — were named to the 2024 MLB All-Star roster. Chris Sale was selected but will not pitch due to a rib injury sustained last month. Matt Olson called it a "full circle moment" to play his first All-Star Game in his hometown of Atlanta.

Two other Atlanta Braves players will join Ronald Acuña Jr. at the MLB All-Star Game next week. First baseman Matt Olson has been named as National League reserve infielder for the game, and Chris Sale has joined the list of starting pitchers, though he will be unable to play in the game due to an injury.

Twenty-five years after attending All-Star Game festivities with his parents at Turner Field, suburban Atlanta native Matt Olson will proudly experience the thrill of being an All-Star in his hometown.
