Here are the 2026 All-Star Game roster replacements

The starters, pitchers and reserves for the 2026 All-Star Game were announced last week, but those rosters often change as players drop out due to injury or other factors and are replaced by new players.

We'll be keeping track of any replacements that are named before the 96th MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on Tuesday, with any new players added below when they are announced.

July 11: Foster Griffin (WSH) replaces Chase Burns (CIN) on NL roster
Griffin's path to his first All-Star appearance is nothing short of remarkable; the 30-year-old rookie who originally debuted all the way back in 2020 and spent the last three seasons pitching in Japan is now ably anchoring the Nationals' rotation, going 10-2 with a 2.77 ERA in 19 first-half starts.

July 11: Justin Wrobleski (LAD) replaces Braxton Ashcraft (PIT) on NL roster
In a star-studded rotation, Wrobleski has emerged as one of the Dodgers’ most trustworthy arms. The 25-year-old southpaw is 10-2 in 16 games (15 starts) with a 2.69 ERA that ranks 12th best among qualified pitchers. Wrobleski relies on pinpoint command -- with a walk rate in the 94th percentile of MLB -- and a four-seam fastball that has held the opposition to a .180 batting average. Although he began the year as the club’s No. 6 starter, Wrobleski entered play on Saturday as one of the 20 most valuable pitchers in baseball, according to FanGraphs.

July 11: Tristan Peters (CWS) replaces Nick Kurtz (ATH) on AL roster
It was quite the 24-hour stretch for Peters, who was named to the AL All-Star team one day after hitting for the cycle. The 26-year-old rookie has been a revelation for the feel-good White Sox. He entered play on Saturday hitting .303/.357/.484 with a 133 OPS+, and he was one of just 15 hitters with at least 200 plate appearances to be hitting above .300. Peters has also played excellent defense in center field, ranking in the 98th percentile of MLB with +9 Outs Above Average.

July 10: Munetaka Murakami (CWS) replaces Byron Buxton (MIN) on AL roster
Murakami returned to the White Sox on Friday after missing more than a month with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. The rookie first baseman entered the day with a .240/.378/.560 slash line, 20 home runs and 41 RBIs in 57 games. He replaces Buxton, who was placed on the injured list on July 7 with a reaggravated right hip impingement. The Twins outfielder is batting .271 with a .904 OPS and 25 home runs, the fourth most in the American League.

July 10: Iván Herrera (STL) replaces Shohei Ohtani (LAD) on NL roster
Herrera, the Cardinals' primary designated hitter and backup catcher, came into Friday's action hitting .249 with 11 home runs, 40 RBIs and a well above-average 122 OPS+. His .384 on-base percentage also ranked 8th in the NL. He took the spot of Ohtani, who is dealing with left knee inflammation.

July 10: OF Ceddanne Rafaela (BOS) replaces Aaron Judge (NYY) on AL roster
A gifted outfielder, Rafaela is one of the best defenders in baseball. A year after winning his first Gold Glove Award, he ranks in the 99th percentile of MLB in Statcast’s outs above average and fielding run value. On top of that, he’s made tremendous strides at the plate in his age-25 season. Rafaela is hitting .283/.330/.438 through 87 games with a career-best 117 OPS+. By Baseball Reference’s version of WAR, only five players in baseball have been more valuable than Rafaela, who has recorded 3.9 bWAR.

July 10: RHP Nick Martinez (TB) replaces Ranger Suarez (BOS) on AL roster
Martinez has emerged as an unlikely stalwart for the first-place Rays after signing a one-year contract at the onset of Spring Training. He enters Friday’s start against the Mariners with a 2.61 ERA, ninth lowest in the Majors among qualified pitchers. Martinez has allowed three runs or fewer in all but one of his 17 starts this season; only Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski has more starts allowing three runs or fewer. Now, the dependable Martinez is a first-time All-Star in his ninth Major League campaign.

July 7: RHP Riley O'Brien (STL) replaces Paul Skenes (PIT) on NL roster
O’Brien emerged as the Cardinals’ closer during a breakout 2025 (2.06 ERA in 48 innings) and has held down that role for a surprising St. Louis squad that sits squarely in the NL playoff mix. O’Brien has saved 22 games in 26 opportunities for the Cardinals, striking out 35 in 36 1/3 innings with a 3.72 ERA this season. He takes the spot of Skenes, who drew the start on Tuesday against the Braves and is lined up to start on Sunday against the Brewers to close out the first half.

July 7: LHP Jesús Luzardo (PHI) replaces Max Meyer (MIA) on NL roster
After finishing seventh in 2025 NL Cy Young balloting in his first season following a trade to the Phillies, Luzardo has made the All-Star team for the first time in his eight-year career. He has struck out 125 in 103 1/3 innings with a 3.75 ERA, including a 2.26 ERA in his past 10 starts. Meyer, who started Tuesday’s series opener against the Mariners at loanDepot park, is in line to start Sunday’s first-half finale against the Guardians, which would make him unavailable for the All-Star Game.

July 7: RHP Braxton Ashcraft (PIT) replaces Jacob Misiorowski (MIL) on NL roster
Ashcraft has built on his impressive rookie season with a standout 2026, owning a 3.24 ERA in 18 starts with 122 strikeouts in 108 1/3 innings. A little more than a year after making his debut in May 2025, the Pirates right-hander has made the All-Star Game for the first time. Lined up to pitch on Sunday after earning the win over the Cardinals in Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Misiorowski had been unlikely to pitch in the Midsummer Classic. With a 1.62 ERA and 167 K’s in 111 innings, the flamethrowing phenom is the NL Cy Young Award favorite.

July 7: 1B Willson Contreras (BOS) replaces Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (TOR) on AL roster
Contreras is having arguably the best season of his career. With 20 homers, he appears certain to pass his career high of 24. Meanwhile, his .920 OPS would be a career high and ranks third among AL first basemen, while his .284 average entering Tuesday was best among that group. Guerrero earned his sixth career selection when he was elected as a starter by the fan vote, but said he would decline his selection so he can go home to Tampa, Fla., and take the four days to rest his ailing lower back. Nick Kurtz (ATH) will start at first base for the AL.
