The 2024 MLB All-Star Game rosters are beginning to take shape, with voting results for Phase 2 of fan voting revealed Wednesday.

New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper had already made their teams by topping each league in Phase 1, leaving all other starting lineup spots to be determined by a playoff between the two players with the most votes at each position.

The Philadelphia Phillies, who have the best record in MLB at 56-29, led all teams with three starters, all of them infielders. The New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres also had multiple starters.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ only representative among the starters will be Shohei Ohtani, who makes his first appearance with the Dodgers amid a season in which he leads all NL players in batting average, OPS, home runs and WAR. The Dodgers could have had a second starter, but ESPN’s announcement show reported that Teoscar Hernandez lost the final outfield spot to Fernando Tatis Jr. by about 3,000 votes.
