Contreras Appeals Suspension

Red Sox are appealing a seven-game suspension for Willson Contreras after he threw his helmet at pitcher Cade Cavalli on June 30.
Major League Baseball (MLB) said the appeal does not bar Contreras from the July 14 Home Run Derby or the All-Star Game.
Contreras will share the All-Star field with brother William Contreras, who will start for National League.
Boston faces a series against the New York Mets Thursday, testing depth without him.

Summary

Contreras Replacement

Boston named Willson Contreras as the All-Star replacement for Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr., filling the American League first-base slot.
Although ruled out, Contreras entered the July 8 game, went 0-for-2, struck out after fouling his left foot, recorded a fly-out, and left in the third inning.
He entered the contest with a .287/.381/.545 slash line, 20 home runs in 87 games and four All-Star selections, increasing Boston’s representation.
