NEW YORK – Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson has decided not to play in the All-Star Game as he deals with a bruised left heel. Major League Baseball announced Friday that Diamondbacks middle infielder Geraldo Perdomo would replace him on the National League roster.
“That’s obviously a tough question,” Swanson said Thursday evening, before making his decision official Friday. “It’s something you want to be a part of.”
