Full 2022 MLB All-Star Game lineups announced
LOS ANGELES - Major League Baseball's best players will be on their way to Los Angeles in just one week, as the Dodgers are set to host the 92nd Midsummer Classic in Chavez Ravine on July 19. On Sunday, we learned who will round out the rosters for each league.
The game's starters were announced back on Friday after two rounds of fan voting. The top vote-getters from each league — The New York Yankees' Aaron Judge from the American League, and the Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuña for the National League — were given automatic start spots. The rest of the starters were voted on by position.
Also on Friday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced that two of the most accomplished players of this generation — Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals and Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers — would be added to the All-Star lineups. MLB's new Collective Bargaining Agreement allows Manfred to add one player to each league's roster starting this season, according to The Athletic.

Overall, the Yankees led all of baseball with six representatives, the Braves lead the NL with five entrants.
The starting pitchers will be determined by their respective managers. The All-Star Game managers are the managers of the previous year's World Series teams. The Astros' Dusty Baker heads the AL squad, and the Braves' Brian Snitker will lead the NL team. Many hope one of either Kershaw or Gonsolin will start for the NL, to have a Dodger start in his home stadium.
The 2022 MLB All-Star Game airs Tuesday, July 19 on FOX at 8 p.m. ET.
