Abbott has a case to make the All-Star Game. His 2.15 ERA trails only Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes (min. 80 innings) in the National League. At 1.9 fWAR, he ranks 17th, and a handful ahead of him have already sustained injuries, knocking them out of consideration.

The Cincinnati Reds have opened their final homestand before the All-Star break with another rain delay. The start time for Monday night's opener of a four-game series against the Miami Marlins has been pushed back by more than an hour by adverse weather in the area. The Reds say they expect first pitch to be 8:15 p.m.
