Wheeler rejects ASG nod, 'disrespected' by snubs

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler declined an invitation to join the NL All-Star roster, stating he felt 'disrespected' by being repeatedly snubbed for the All-Star Game in previous years. Wheeler, considered an ace for the Phillies, turned down the late addition to the roster rather than accepting what he viewed as an afterthought selection. The story comes amid several other All-Star roster changes, including Shohei Ohtani sitting out to rest his knee.
