Milton Bradley will start for the American League at designated hitter during the 2008 MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium next week.

Manager Terry Francona said on Sunday during the TBS Selection Show that since David Ortiz will not be able to play (wrist), Bradley will start, and a reserve will be added to the team.
