ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Baseball’s brightest stars will gather Tuesday night for the 95th MLB All-Star Game. It will be the third time the game is held in Atlanta, the first time in 25 years and the first time at Truist Park.
Three Braves got the call for the Midsummer Classic, led by star Ronald Acuña Jr, who was voted as the starting left fielder for the National League. He will be joined by pitcher Chris Sale and first baseman Matt Olson. Sale will not play to a fractured rib suffered in June.
Two former Braves will also be at the game wearing different uniforms. Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman will start for the National League and New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried will be in attendance for the American League. Fried is not expected to pitch.
The game is set to start at 8 p.m.
