NEW YORK —

Philadelphia ruled out one of them, pitching prospect Andrew Painter, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Phillies had been hopeful he could make his major league debut after the All-Star break if all went well with his progress.
“We will keep him on our plan,” manager Rob Thomson said Monday. “There’s nothing that says he’s coming up here at all. He’s got to be healthy. He’s got to be pitching well. We’ve said that all along.”
San Diego 18-year-old shortstop Leo De Vries is among 13 international prospects, including five from the Dominican Republic, three from Venezuela, two from Canada, and one each from the Bahamas, Cuba and Panama.
Detroit outfielder Max Clark was picked for the second straight year after going 1 for 4 at Texas last July.
Washington right-hander Marquis Grissom Jr. is on the NL team. His father, Marquis Grissom, is the AL manager, while the NL is managed by Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones.
