Harrisburg, PA - In conjunction with the Eastern League and the Altoona Curve, the rosters for the 2014 Eastern League All-Star game have been announced.

The Harrisburg Senators representatives for the game are outfielder Michael Taylor, infielder Cutter Dykstra and relief pitcher Neil Holland. With Holland's promotion to Syracuse, he will not be participating in the game.

Neil Holland (5-2, 3.86) The right-handed reliever has appeared in a team-high 29 games and has one save. Seventeen of Holland's 29 outings this year have been scoreless. Only seven of the 18 runners Holland has inherited this season have scored. Holland was a New York Penn League All-Star in 2010 while pitching with the Vermont Lake Monsters. The Nationals selected Holland in the 11th round of the 2010 draft out of the University of Louisville.

Cutter Dykstra has been a mainstay at second base for the Senators this season. He's currently batting .297 with five home runs and 43 runs batted in.
