Ohtani And Judge Lead A Loaded 2026 All-Star Field

Ohtani starts at designated hitter for the National League after another two-way season. Freddie Freeman joins him at first base, with Ozzie Albies at second. Max Muncy starts at third and CJ Abrams at shortstop. Juan Soto, Brandon Marsh and Andy Pages fill the NL outfield. Drake Baldwin starts behind the plate for the National League.

Aaron Judge anchors the American League outfield alongside Mike Trout and Byron Buxton. Yordan Alvarez starts at designated hitter for the AL. Bobby Witt Jr. returns at shortstop, with Junior Caminero at third base. Athletics teammates Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz start behind the plate and at first.

The Dodgers, Braves and Phillies each earned five selections to lead the majors. The Yankees, Blue Jays and Rays tied for the American League lead with four apiece. Atlanta placed both Drake Baldwin and Ozzie Albies in the NL starting lineup. Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero earned his nod amid a red-hot first half. The National League lineup features four Los Angeles Dodgers starters. Philadelphia hosts the game and placed Brandon Marsh in the NL outfield.

Toronto’s Ernie Clement earned a surprise starting nod at second base. Blue Jays fans powered his push through the fan vote. Clement headlines Toronto’s four total All-Stars this summer. The selection show aired on FOX before the July 14 event. Fan voting decided the position-player starters in each league.

Not every star made the cut for Philadelphia. ESPN flagged Milwaukee’s Brice Turang among the notable snubs. Several first-half performers will watch the game from home instead. The reserves and pitching staffs round out each 32-man roster.

The rosters double as a snapshot of the 2026 awards races. Kyle Schwarber leads the majors with 30 home runs at the break. Yordan Alvarez sits second at 29, with Hunter Goodman third at 27. Ohtani and Judge remain fixtures in the MVP conversations. Schwarber’s total tops both leagues entering the All-Star break.

The Home Run Derby returns to Citizens Bank Park during All-Star week. MLB scrapped the Derby clock for this year’s event. The All-Star Game follows on July 14 under Mastercard sponsorship. Both leagues then head into the second half with pennant races tightening. The event caps a first half headlined by Schwarber’s power surge.
