The Chicago Cubs<\/a> are 3-3 through the first six games of the 2026 MLB regular season. While there have been frustrating moments early, it is easy to see the potential this team has to be among the best in baseball. With a talented roster with multiple high-quality players, it will not be long before the Cubs start climbing back up the standings.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that the season is only a week old, some are starting to wonder what players from around baseball will end up representing their teams in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game. Undoubtedly, the Cubs have multiple players that could play in the Mid-Summer Classic, but\u00a0Bleacher Report\u00a0predicts only three of them will.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report predicts Alex Bregman and Daniel Palencia will join Pete Crow-Armstrong on the NL All-Star roster

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Bleacher Report\u2018<\/a>s first All-Star roster projection since the start of the season, they predicted that Chicago will be sending three players to the game. They predict that Alex Bregman<\/a> will be voted in as the NL starting third baseman. They also named Pete Crow-Armstrong an All-Star reserve, and Daniel Palenica as one of the pitchers.<\/p>\n

Bregman was an All-Star for the third time in his career last year while playing for the Boston Red Sox. This year, through six games, he is hitting .208\/.321\/.458 with two home runs and three RBI. However, he was walked (four times) more than he has struck out (twice).<\/p>\n

Crow-Armstrong made his first career All-Star team last year. So far this season, he is hitting .261\/.320\/.261 with three RBI.<\/p>\n

Palecia has never been named to an All-Star team in his career. In two appearances this season, he has to record a run. He may have made a name for himself among those choosing All-Star pitchers, though, with all well he pitched in the World Baseball Classic.<\/p>\n
