MLB All-Star Game 2018: Start Time, Roster Breakdown of 89th Midsummer Classic

The biggest superstars, young prospects and surprises from the 2018 Major League Baseball season converge on Nationals Park Tuesday for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game.

Thirty-two players will represent the American and National Leagues in the 89th edition of the All-Star Game, but there's been plenty of alterations made to the squads since the rosters were unveiled July 8.

The players who opted out of the All-Star Game did so due to injuries and the lack of rest for certain pitchers in between starts.

Among the replacements named in the last week were Tampa Bay's Blake Snell, who was regarded as one of the biggest All-Star Game snubs, Cleveland catcher Yan Gomes and Milwaukee pitcher Jeremy Jeffress.
