Phils' Wagner, Rollins chosen to replace Pedro, Izturis

NEW YORK -- Philadelphia Phillies closer Billy Wagner and shortstop Jimmy Rollins were added to the National League All-Star roster on Thursday as replacements for New York Mets pitcher Pedro Martinez and Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Cesar Izturis.

Izturis went on the disabled list Tuesday with a sore right hamstring. Martinez is scheduled to start Sunday at Pittsburgh and won't be available.

With the additions, the Phillies have three All-Stars for the first time since 2002, when Rollins, Scott Rolen and Vicente Padilla were on the NL team. Bobby Abreu was elected to start in the NL outfield this year.
