MLB All-Star Game 2025: Starting lineups announced; Shohei Ohtani leads off for NL, Aaron Judge bats 3rd for AL

The starting lineups for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Atlanta's Truist Park were announced on Monday.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is managing the National League squad and going with his guy, NL home run leader Shohei Ohtani, to lead off, followed by hometown favorite Ronald Acuña Jr. Three of Roberts' Dodgers players were voted into the NL starting lineup, which is as follows:

DH Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers
LF Ronald Acuña Jr., Atlanta Braves
2B Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks
1B Freddie Freeman, Dodgers
3B Manny Machado, San Diego Padres
C Will Smith, Dodgers
RF Kyle Tucker, Chicago Cubs
SS Francisco Lindor, New York Mets
CF Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs
P Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh Pirates

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is the skipper for the American League and also penciled a familiar face for his leadoff hitter. Gleyber Torres played seven seasons for Boone in the Bronx before moving to the Detroit Tigers as a free agent. Boone's current MVP candidate, Aaron Judge, will bat third in the AL lineup in front of MLB home run leader Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners at cleanup

2B Gleyber Torres, Tigers
LF Riley Greene, Tigers
RF Aaron Judge, Yankees
C Cal Raleigh, Mariners
1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Toronto Blue Jays
DH Ryan O'Hearn, Baltimore Orioles
3B Junior Caminero, Tampa Bay Rays
CF Javier Báez, Tigers
SS Jacob WIlson, Athletics
P Tarik Skubal, Tigers

The Pirates' Paul Skenes (last year's NL Rookie of the Year) and Tigers' Tarik Skubal (the AL Cy Young Award winner) were named the starting pitchers for the game on Saturday.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski, a controversial selection to replace Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd because he's started only five games, will pitch in Tuesday's game, Roberts told reporters.

The remaining AL and NL rosters were announced last Sunday, and replacements for players who opted out or are unable to participate were named on Friday.
