The reigning National League Cy Young Award wimmer is 12-4
with a 2.68 ERA and 121 strikeouts but has struggled recently,
losing three of his last four starts.
Arrieta was passed over to start the game for the NL in favor of
San Francisco Giants starter Johnny Cueto. Now he might not play
in it at all.
"I'm not disappointed," Arrieta said of not being named the
starter. "I'm realistic. My last three starts were poor."
The Cubs are trying to keep Arrieta fresh for an anticipated
October run after he admittedly tired late last season.
