Major League Baseball unveiled the full American League and National League rosters Saturday for the 2026 All-Star Game scheduled for July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

The Dodgers, Braves and Phillies each received five selections, the most of any team. Shohei Ohtani leads the National League in fan voting as the starting designated hitter, while Mike Trout earned his 12th career All-Star selection and starts in the outfield for the American League.

Fan voting determined the starters, with player voting and commissioner selections filling the remainder of the squads. Aaron Judge was voted an AL outfield starter but will not play due to injury. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. declined his selection to rest a lower back issue.

Several pitchers including Jacob Misiorowski and Paul Skenes are expected to be ineligible to pitch in the game due to their scheduled starts the Sunday before the break. The event also features the MLB Draft, Futures Game and Home Run Derby in the days leading up to the Midsummer Classic.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X center on the announced AL and NL starters, with high-engagement posts listing lineups featuring stars like Ohtani, Judge, Trout, and Guerrero Jr. Team accounts highlight first-time selections and roster spots, while some note snubs like Mookie Betts for the Dodgers. Sentiments are largely neutral and celebratory, with minimal skepticism or negativity in early posts.
