Cleveland Guardians superstar third baseman Jose Ramirez was recently elected to his seventh All-Star game after a strong first half of the 2025 MLB season, which is just another footnote on the Hall of Fame resume he is building.

(AP) — Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez will no longer be playing in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Houston third baseman Isaac Paredes was picked Wednesday to replace Ramírez, who had been the starting third baseman. The Guardians said Ramírez wanted “to focus on recovery and preparation for the second half of the season.”
