BALTIMORE - Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg has been added to the American League All-Star roster as a replacement for Boston's Rafael Devers.

Westburg will be the fourth Oriole in the Midsummer Classic on July 16 in Arlington, Texas, joining pitcher Corbin Burnes, shortstop Gunnar Henderson and catcher Adley Rutschman.

Henderson and Rutschman were voted in as All-Star starters.
