The Brewers (and Milwaukee Braves) players in the MLB all-star game (and how they did)

Devin Williams was selected for the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2023 MLB All-Star Game, making his second straight all-star team, though he bowed out of the game due to high-level workload just before the contest. Corbin Burnes, however, was named a replacement for Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider, so Milwaukee had multiple representatives for the fifth straight all-star showcase. Burnes, however, also did not pitch.

Take a look at the full rundown of how Milwaukee players fared in the annual (sometimes twice-annual) midsummer showcase, with players under the heading of their most recent appearance.
