Which Dodgers will make ASG? Tune in Sun.

WASHINGTON -- The Dodgers will surely be well represented in Denver for the All-Star Game, but they won’t have a starter for the first time since 2017.

Max Muncy, Justin Turner, Mookie Betts, Gavin Lux and Chris Taylor made it past the first phase of voting, but all fell short in their respective positions in Phase 2. Muncy had the best case to start the All-Star Game, as he leads the Dodgers in most offensive categories this season. He was the leading vote-getter at first base in Phase 1 of the voting, but fell just short against the Braves' Freddie Freeman in Phase 2.

• Here are your 2021 All-Star Game starters

Muncy entered Thursday’s game with a 4.0 bWAR, which was tied for third in the Majors, and he added to his impressive first half with a grand slam against the Nationals on Thursday. Though Muncy isn’t starting the game, he could still make the roster as a reserve, which seems expected, based on his numbers. The first baseman also said he wasn’t sure if he would be participating in this year’s Home Run Derby due to a couple of nagging injuries. He did say, however, that he will definitely not participate in the event if he isn’t an All-Star.

Turner also had a good chance to start the game, but the 36-year-old fell short against Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, who will start at third base for the National League. Like Muncy, Turner has a decent shot to make his second All-Star team as a reserve.

As for Betts and Taylor, it’ll be interesting to see if the two make the team as reserves. Betts has had a solid season, entering Thursday with a 2.9 bWAR, but he hasn’t had the consistency at the plate that is expected from the 2018 American League MVP. He’s still one of the most productive outfielders in the NL, so it’ll be interesting to see if his peers vote him in.

Taylor, on the other hand, has one of the most fascinating cases of any player. He has been the Dodgers’ most invaluable player this season, playing five positions on defense, seemingly fitting in anywhere the Dodgers have an injury. He has also produced the best season of his career at the plate, posting a 130 OPS+ through 80 games.

With Taylor, his All-Star case could come down to which position he’s listed as. If he’s an outfielder, the competition could be tougher. But he would make a convincing case as an infielder.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will manage the NL team, but under the new rules, he won’t have full say on who is on the All-Star team. He will, however, be responsible with filling out the lineup and picking a starting pitcher.

Pitchers and reserves for the All-Star Game presented by Mastercard -- which takes place on July 13 at Coors Field -- will be announced on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. PT on ESPN.
