2026 All-Star Game lineups revealed as Mike Trout, Kyle Schwarber will lead off in AL-NL clash
The 2026 MLB All-Star Game will be held Tuesday. The annual event will pit the best from the American League and the National League against each other in a friendly exhibition.
It was announced Sunday that the Toronto Blue Jays' Dylan Cease and the Philadelphia Phillies' Cristopher Sánchez would be the starting pitchers.
The starting lineups were released Monday, and here is how the two teams will begin the game.
American League
Mike Trout, CF - Los Angeles Angels
Yordan Alvarez, DH - Houston Astros
Shea Langeliers, C - Athletics
Junior Caminero, 3B - Tampa Bay Rays
Bobby Witt Jr., SS - Kansas City Royals
Cody Bellinger, RF - New York Yankees
Ben Rice, 1B - New York Yankees
Riley Greene, LF - Detroit Tigers
Ernie Clement, 2B - Toronto Blue Jays
National League
Kyle Schwarber, DH - Philadelphia Phillies
Juan Soto, LF - New York Mets
Freddie Freeman, 1B - Los Angeles Dodgers
CJ Abrams, SS - Washington Nationals
Max Muncy, 3B - Los Angeles Dodgers
Ozzie Albies, 2B - Atlanta Braves
Brandon Marsh, RF - Philadelphia Phillies
Andy Pages, CF - Los Angeles Dodgers
Drake Baldwin, C - Atlanta Braves
These lineups are really more of a formality if this year's All-Star Game is like previous Midsummer Classics. With every team having a representative, the managers tend to work in more players for at least one defensive appearance or an at-bat.
The lone exception to that may be for the Phillies players since the game will be held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will head the National League team, while Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider will be in charge of the American League team.
