Ohtani, Freeman lead Dodgers' four starters in All-Star Game - ESPN
Shohei Ohtani will be joined in the National League's starting lineup by three teammates from the back-to-back champion Los Angeles Dodgers, Major League Baseball announced Saturday when it unveiled rosters for the 2026 All-Star Game.
Ohtani, who led all players in votes, will start as the NL's designated hitter, with Freddie Freeman at first base, Max Muncy at third and Andy Pages in the outfield. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Ohtani is unlikely to pitch in the All-Star Game after the team adjusted his schedule.
New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh, Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams and Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies and catcher Drake Baldwin will also start for the NL.

Guerrero said after rosters were announced that he would not participate, prompting Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz, who won the player vote at his position, to take his place.
The Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout, the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Minnesota Twins' Byron Buxton will make up the AL's starting outfield.
