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.

Clayton Kershaw was selected to his 11th All-Star Game this year. The star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers earned an All-Star bid as the "Legend Pick" and will have the chance to pitch for the NL All-Star Team. He was selected by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.
