Bautista was named to his sixth consecutive all-star game earlier this week after being voted in through a player ballot – a combination of votes from players, managers and coaches.
He went 1-for-5 with one run Saturday against the Kansas City Royals.
Bautista has 17 home runs and 59 runs batted in this season. Dozier entered play today batting .259 on the season with 19 home and a league-leading 66 runs scored.
