TRIO NAMED TO ALL-STAR TEAMS

Shane Bieber, Liam Hendriks and Max Muncy have been added to rosters for next week’s All-Star Game.

Major League Baseball announced the changes Friday.

Bieber and Hendriks will replace injured Rays right-hander Charlie Morton and Rangers left-hander Mike Minor on the AL roster.

Bieber, a right-hander with the Indians, is 7-3 with a 3.54 ERA. He’ll join Cleveland teammates Carlos Santana, Francisco Lindor and Brad Hand as hometown representa­tives for the game at Progressiv­e Field.

The Athletics’ Hendriks has a 1.29 ERA over 48 2⁄3 innings. The Australian righty’s first All-Star appearance will come just over a year after Oakland designated him for assignment and sent him to Class AAA after he cleared waivers.

Muncy, an infielder with the Dodgers, will replace Washington’s Anthony Rendon, who chose to skip the game to rest nagging injuries.

ARIZONA DIAMONDBAC­KS

The team placed outfielder David Peralta on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammati­on.

Peralta left Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third inning and was replaced by Tim Locastro in left field.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Peralta had an MRI on Thursday that revealed joint inflammati­on that remained from a previous right shoulder problem.

PHILADELPH­IA PHILLIES

Outfielder Odubel Herrera has accepted a suspension for the rest of the season under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy.

The commission­er’s office announced his decision Friday, two days after domestic assault charges against Herrera in Atlantic City, New Jersey, were dismissed. He had been charged with simple assault and knowingly causing bodily injury stemming from an incident on May 27. The woman, his girlfriend, declined to press charges.

“I acted in an unacceptab­le manner and am terribly disappoint­ed in myself. I alone am to blame for my actions,” Herrera said in a statement issued through the players’ associatio­n.
