MLB All-Star Game 2018 Rosters: AL, NL Starting Lineups, Pitchers, Reserves, Final Vote Candidates
The rosters for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game were announced Sunday night, and plenty of familiar names will represent the American League and National League. Jose Altuve and Mike Trout, who have won the last two AL MVP awards, will be in the starting lineup on July 17 at Nationals Park, while Bryce Harper is one of three former NL MVP winners that made the team.
Altuve was the league’s leading vote-getter, and he’s one of five players from the defending champion Houston Astros to make the team. Mookie Betts received more votes than any outfielder as one of the five Boston Red Sox to make the All-Star team. The Cleveland Indians will also have five representatives.
Aaron Judge is one of four New York Yankees on the team. The Atlanta Braves also have four All-Stars. The Braves and Chicago Cubs are the only two NL teams with multiple starters.
The rosters will change by the time the game is finally set to be played. It’s already known that Justin Verlander won’t compete in the contest because he’s scheduled to start the Sunday before the All-Star Game. In addition to other injury replacements, a player will be added to each roster with a final fan vote.
Let’s take a look at the complete rosters, including the starters and reserves, for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game.
