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.

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.

The injured Braves starter is an All-Star for the ninth time, while Atlanta’s first baseman plays his way onto the squad for the third time.
