Several of MLB’s top players will be absent from Tuesday’s game despite earning nods. That list includes Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, who was scratched due to an ongoing left knee injury, and Milwaukee Brewers young pitching phenom Jacob Misiorowski, who is dealing with arm fatigue and will not pitch.
Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies will get the start for the NL, while Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays will start for the AL.
The NL won last year’s Midsummer Classic 7-6 after Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-3 in the home run swing-off tiebreaker. It hasn’t beaten the AL in back-to-back All-Star Games since winning three in a row from 2010 through 2012.
