The 96th MLB All-Star Game is just hours away and the rosters have changed quite a bit since MLB's big roster reveal on the Fourth of July. So here's a refresher as to who's starting and who's on the bench for the American and National League rosters.

American League All-Star starters

Catcher: Shea Langeliers, Athletics

Langeliers is in the midst of a career year, leads all AL catchers in homers and has been among the best offensive players in the game this year.

First base: Ben Rice, Yankees

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the elected starter at first base, will sit out the All-Star Game due to his ailing back, and his initial replacement, Nick Kurtz, is also injured with a thumb strain. So the Yankees' Ben Rice, who has belted 29 home runs and is tied for third in MLB in adjusted OPS, will get the start at first base.

Second base: Ernie Clement, Blue Jays

The defending AL champions are well represented in the starting lineup, as Clement, who leads all AL second basemen in batting average and wRC+, joins Guerrero.

Third base: Junior Caminero, Rays

Caminero has been an offensive force for the Rays once again, as he's tied for third in baseball in wRC+ thanks to a stellar June in which he became the youngest player since 1900 to homer in six consecutive games. He's also taking his talents to the Home Run Derby once again.

Shortstop: Bobby Witt Jr. Royals

Witt is the definition of a five-tool player, as he's sixth in MLB in batting average, has clubbed 12 homers, swiped 29 stolen bases and leads all shortstops in defensive runs saved. Oh, and he leads the AL in WAR.

Outfield: Mike Trout, Angels; Cody Bellinger, Yankees; Riley Greene, Tigers

A rejuvanated Trout gets the start in the All-Star Game in the ballpark of the team he grew up rooting for. Meanwhile, Bellinger replaces injured Yankees teammate Aaron Judge, while Riley Greene does the same for the injured Byron Buxton.

Designated hitter: Yordan Alvarez, Astros

Alvarez, who is batting .319 while leading MLB in on-base percentage (.432) and slugging percentage (.635), is simply the best and most dangerous hitter in baseball right now.

National League All-Star starters

Catcher: Drake Baldwin, Braves

Aside from a poor month of June, Baldwin has been a steady presence in the Braves lineup and a net-positive as a pitch framer behind the plate.

First base: Freddie Freeman, Dodgers

Freeman, at 36 years young, is slashing .293/.383/.497 while ranking third in the NL in defensive runs saved.

Second base: Ozzie Albies, Braves

Albies is in the midst of a good-but-not-great year for Atlanta, as he's produced a 107 wRC+ and rates two outs above average at second base.

Third base: Max Muncy, Dodgers

At third base in the National League, there's Max Muncy and then there's everyone else. Muncy leads all NL third basemen in WAR and wRC+, and has been among the best at the hot corner with the glove.

Shortstop: CJ Abrams, Nationals

Abrams, who leads NL shortstops in home runs and slugging percentage, is deserving of the first All-Star nod—and start—of his career.

Outfield: Brandon Marsh, Phillies; Juan Soto, Mets; Andy Pages, Dodgers

Marsh, a first-time All-Star, leads all left fielders in batting average. Soto has arguably been the NL's best hitter and inarguably the Mets' lone bright spot. Pages is in the midst of a breakout year and is among the most well-rounded outfielders in the game this year.

Designated hitter: Kyle Schwarber, Phillies

Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani netted the most votes of any All-Star, but is sitting out the Midsummer Classic due to irritation in his left knee. That paves the way for 2026 home run leader and Derby runner-up Kyle Schwarber to get the start in front of the hometown crowd.
