Roy Halladay out of All Star game with broken bone in leg

Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay will miss at least a month because of a broken bone in his left leg, spoiling his shot to start next week's All-Star Game.

Halladay sustained a non-displaced fracture in his lower left leg when he was struck by Kevin Mench's line drive in the third inning of the Blue Jays' 7-6 loss at Texas on Friday night.

AL manager Terry Francona replaced Halladay on the roster with Red Sox right-hander Matt Clement (10-2, 3.85), though the manager didn't say who would start.
