Abbott (7-1, 2.15 ERA) has pitched well enough in 15 starts to help put the Reds at the fringes of the wild-card playoff mix – and maybe well enough yet earn a first All-Star bid the way teammate Hunter Greene did a year ago.

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.

Brady Singer takes the mound for the Marlins against the Reds at Great American Ballpark on Monday, with both teams seeking recovery from recent losses.
