The 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is going to look a little strange due to all the big-name stars either dealing with injuries or having bad seasons.
- Aaron Judge, voted in as a starter, will miss the game due to a rib injury.
- Mike Trout, also voted in as a starter, is on the injured list (hamstring), although he’s hoping to play in his first All-Star Game since 2019.
- All-Star mainstay Jose Ramirez is having his worst season and is also on the IL (hand).
- Francisco Lindor has played just 31 games because of a left calf injury.
- Mookie Betts has been hot of late but missed time with an oblique injury and got off to a slow start.
- Cal Raleigh, last year’s American League MVP runner-up, is still struggling with a batting average well under .200.
- Future Hall of Famer Manny Machado is likewise scuffling with a sub-.200 average.
