Colome was chosen for the American League All-Star team Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 27-year-old reliever has been a revelation this season while last year's closer Brad Boxberger (oblique) has battled injuries. Colome has converted all 19 of his save opportunities in 2016, ranking him fifth in the AL in that category. He's generated a stellar 1.71 ERA in the process while fanning 39 over 31.2 innings. Colome made a successful return Tuesday from a DL stint due to biceps tendinitis and should continue in the closer role for the foreseeable future.
