All-Star Roster: Mike Trout Returns, Dodgers Dominate

Trout, 34, is slated to start his first All‑Star Game in four years after a hamstring strain sidelined him for most of the season. With a 145 OPS+ and 17 home runs in 74 games, he is expected to bring a fresh spark to the AL lineup in Philadelphia, just 40 miles from his hometown of Millville, New Jersey. rocore.sbs

The Dodgers lead the NL with four starters, headed by Shohei Ohtani who won the DH fan vote for a sixth straight year—a record streak unheard of in All‑Star history. Joining Ohtani are Freddie Freeman at first base, Max Muncy at third and Andy Pages in the outfield, underscoring the club’s offensive depth heading into the midsummer classic on July 14 at Citizens Bank Park.
