High-scoring Cincinnati FC striker Brandon Vazquez was added to the MLS All-Star Game roster on Wednesday as a replacement for New York City FC's Valentin "Taty" Castellanos.
Vazquez and Castellanos are tied for second in the league with 13 goals, one behind Austin FC's Sebastian Driussi. Castellanos is off the team after recently being loaned to La Liga club Girona FC of Spain through June 2023.
