NEW YORK— Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was picked for his 11th All-Star Game and Paul Skenes, James Wood and Elly De La Cruz boosted the 23-and-under group to five when they were picked for the July 15 showcase at Atlanta’s Truist Park.

Kershaw is in what will likely be his final MLB season, and after the left-hander notched his 3,000th strikeout last week, he'll be given the honor of being named to the All-Star team by Manfred, a gesture made in recognition of his legendary career.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announces that Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw is an All-Star, his 11th in his 18-year career.
