What happened: The American League selected Bryan Baker, Dylan Cease, Aroldis Chapman, Jacob Latz, Parker Messick, Drew Rasmussen, Joe Ryan, Cam Schlittler, Cade Smith, Ranger Suárez, Louis Varland and Michael Wacha to its 2026 All-Star pitching staff. The Midsummer Classic is scheduled for July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Why it matters: The selections complete the AL staff for a showcase featuring many of the league's strongest first-half performers. Availability could still alter the roster because injuries and workload considerations can trigger replacements.

What to watch: Pitcher availability and any replacement selections will be settled before the July 14 game.
