Chicago Cubs outfielders Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker are named All-Star Game starters
For the first time in nearly 90 years, the Chicago Cubs will have two outfielders in the starting lineup at the All-Star Game. Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and right fielder Kyle Tucker earned enough votes in the second phase of the process, which ran from Monday until 11 a.m. Wednesday, to be named National League starters for the Midsummer Classic on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. The last pair of Cubs outfielders to earn that honor was Frank Demaree and Augie Galan in 1936 — the fourth edition of the All-Star Game. This is the first time the Cubs have had two starters, regardless of position, since 2019 with catcher Willson Contreras and shortstop Javier Báez. 'Obviously they've performed in a way that they deserve that kind of recognition,' Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson said Wednesday about Crow-Armstrong and Tucker. 'Two guys that are mainstays in our lineup, and it's just really cool to see them get the appreciation that they deserve.' Crow-Armstrong, 23, entered Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Guardians with 21 home runs, 62 RBIs, 25 stolen bases and a 136 OPS+ in his first full major-league season. He finished second in outfield voting (20% in the second phase) to the Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. (21%). Tucker, who was third in outfield voting (19%), had 17 homers, 52 RBIs, 20 steals and a 165 OPS+ entering Wednesday. It's the fourth consecutive All-Star appearance — and first in the NL — for Tucker, 28, whom the Cubs acquired in an offseason trade with the Houston Astros. Kosuke Fukudome in 2008 was the last Cubs outfielder to start in the All-Star Game; Dexter Fowler was voted as a starter in 2016, but an injury prevented him from playing. Cubs catcher Carson Kelly also was a finalist to start but finished second to the Los Angeles Dodgers' Will Smith, who got 65% of the second-phase votes to Kelly's 35%. The Cubs could have additional All-Stars when reserves and pitchers are announced Sunday.

Dodgers' All-Star lineup record quest fizzles with 3 of 8 finalists voted as starters
Poised to set a record for player popularity and elite production, the Dodgers had eight finalists for the National League starting lineup in the 2025 All-Star Game as voted by fans. Voters had 48 hours to choose between the two players at each position who had accumulated the most votes over the last month in what MLB called Phase 1. Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani already was in the starting lineup because he led NL players in Phase 1 votes. Who in Blue would join him after Phase 2? MLB announced the winners Wednesday afternoon, and Dodgers catcher Will Smith and first baseman Freddie Freeman will start along with Ohtani. The other five Dodgers finalists — second baseman Tommy Edman, shortstop Mookie Betts, third baseman Max Muncy and outfielders Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages — were outvoted and won't start. The record of five starting players held by the 1976 Cincinnati Reds, the 1956 and 1957 Cincinnati Redlegs, and the 1939 New York Yankees still stands. The Dodgers fell short, despite the bevy of finalists. It is the ninth All-Star berth for Freeman, who is batting .308 with 21 doubles, and the third for Smith, who leads the NL with a .320 batting average and .419 on-base percentage. Both players have 10 home runs. Eleven-time All-Star Mike Trout was the only Angels player among the American League finalists, and he did not finish among the top three outfielders in Phase 2. Thousand Oaks High product and Athletics rookie Jacob Wilson was voted the AL starter at shortstop, beating out Bobby Witt Jr. Finalists not voted as starters have no guarantee of making the All-Star Game as a reserve. Pitchers and reserves for the 32-man rosters will be determined by a vote of MLB players and the Commissioner's Office. Complete rosters of 20 position players and 12 pitchers will be announced at 2 p.m. PDT Sunday on ESPN. The All-Star Game will take place July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. Managers Dave Roberts of the Dodgers and Aaron Boone of the Yankees have no say in the selections. The teams that boasted five starters included Hall of Famers and also lesser-known players. The '39 Yankees had All-Star starters Joe DiMaggio, George Selkirk, Bill Dickey, Red Rolfe and Joe Gordon. Red Ruffing was named the starting pitcher by manager Joe McCarthy, making the '39 Yankees the only team with six starting players. The most recent team to land five All-Star starters was the '76 Cincinnati Reds, known as the Big Red Machine, led by future Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan. Pete Rose, Dave Concepción and George Foster also started. The Reds were called the Redlegs from 1953 to 1959 because of a period of intense anti-communism in the U.S. To distance themselves from the Red Scare, the Reds temporarily changed their name. Cincinnati fans loved their team by any name, casting a deluge of last-minute votes two years in a row that eventually required intervention from MLB commissioner Ford Frick and caused MLB to eliminate fan voting for more than a decade. Frick stood by the voting in '56 despite complaints that five Redlegs were voted in, saying, 'Everybody had a chance to vote, so there should be no squawks.' A year later he changed his tune when last-minute voting — remember, all votes were handwritten and manually tabulated — resulted in an all-Redlegs lineup. Frick swiftly stepped in and replaced three Redlegs with future Hall of Famers Stan Musial, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Redlegs fans were incensed, some making an effigy of the commissioner and driving it through Cincinnati tied to a truck. The reaction from players was more muted, with Redlegs center fielder Gus Bell saying, 'I'm not exactly burned up about being replaced by Willie.' Dodgers who finished second likely will have no quarrel with the results. Players who edged them out in voting are having excellent seasons: third baseman Manny Machado, shortstop Francisco Lindor, second baseman Ketel Marte and outfielders Ronald Acuña Jr., Kyle Tucker and Harvard-Westlake High product Pete Crow-Armstrong. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (8-6, 2.51 earned-run average) of the Dodgers is a strong candidate to make the NL pitching staff. At least one Angels player must be chosen as a reserve or pitcher, and the nod could go to Trout, who has 13 home runs but is batting .230. Other possibilities for the resurgent Angels are catcher Logan O'Hoppe (17 home runs), shortstop Zach Neto (12 home runs, team-high 2.7 WAR), outfielder Jo Adell (18 homers, 44 runs batted in) and starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi (2.79 ERA in 96.2 innings).
