5 Dodgers, including Ohtani and Freeman named to All-Star Game; Angels' Mike Trout selected for 12th time

As the United States celebrated 250 years on Saturday, the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game starters were announced, with five Los Angeles Dodgers, including superstar Shohei Ohtani, and the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout earning spots in the Midsummer Classic. 

Ohtani, who received the most votes amongst all MLB players, was an automatic selection as a starter. It's his sixth All-Star selection and third as a Dodger.

He'll be joined by teammates Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Andy Pages and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It's Freeman's 10th All-Star selection, Muncy's third, Yamamoto's second and a first for Pages. 

Each has been instrumental in the Dodgers' double-digit lead over their National League West opponents as they seek their third consecutive World Series championship. 

The Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies all tied for the most selections, with each team sending five players.

On the other side of the diamond, the Halos will send a familiar face in outfielder Mike Trout, who was voted in as the starting center fielder for the American League. He's in the midst of a bounce-back campaign after several injury-plagued years, currently sitting at a .234 batting average with 17 homers, 36 runs driven in and seven stolen bases. 

It's Trout's first All-Star Game selection since 2023. Before that, he was picked for 11 of 12 games starting in his rookie season of 2012. 

The full list of All-Star Game selections, including reserves and pitching staffs, features a slew of first-timers and veterans alike. This year's "Legend Pick," a selection from MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, is Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper. Last year, the selection went to Clayton Kershaw, marking his 11th All-Star Game.

The game is scheduled for July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and marks the 96th version of the Midsummer Classic. The rosters, as of July 4, are as follows:
