Roy Oswalt will replace the injured John Smoltz on the NL All-Star roster.
Odd that MLB named him to the spot before the Final Vote was completed, as Oswalt was one of the pitchers in the mix for the opening. He's probably the least deserving choice based strictly on performance this year, but since Smoltz was elected via the player ballot, his replacement was chosen by going to the player who received the next highest amount of votes.
