Addison Russell, appearing in his first All-Star Game this week, says the experience has rejuvenated him.

The Chicago Cubs endured a grueling stretch heading into the break, but the 22-year-old doesn't mind the additional workload of All-Star week.

"Coming to this event have made things more clear," Russell said. "I'm rejuvenated. After the game, we'll go right back to Chicago and get ready for the second half, but I'm feeling good right now."
