Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels were elected to start in the July 19 All-star Game along with Mookie Betts and Trea Turner of the host Dodgers.

Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk and Miami second baseman Jazz Chisholm

Jr. were voted to start as first-time Allstars, finishing atop their positions in the second round of fan voting.

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Ronald Acuña Jr. of the World Series champion Atlanta Braves were elected from the first round of balloting as the top vote-getters in their leagues.

The AL starting lineup includes Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero

Jr., Houston second baseman Jose

Altuve, Chicago White Sox shortstop

Tim Anderson, Boston third baseman

Rafael Devers and Kirk behind the plate. Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees joined Judge and Trout in the outfield, while Ohtani was voted in as designated hitter.

Ohtani became the first two-way Allstar last year when he was voted the AL DH, then was picked for the pitching staff and started on the mound.

Judge and Stanton will become the first Yankees teammates to start in the outfield together since Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson in 1988.

NL starters include Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, St. Louis first baseman Paul Goldschmidt,

Chisholm at second, Turner at shortstop, San Diego third baseman

Manny Machado and an outfield of Betts, Acuña and San Francisco’s Joc Pederson.

Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper was elected as the National League’s first DH following the expansion of the DH rule to both leagues but will be replaced in the starting lineup after breaking his left thumb when hit by a pitch from San Diego’s Blake Snell on June 25.

Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals and Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers were added to rosters by baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred under a provision in MLB’S new labor agreement.
