Harper led all players with over 4.6 million votes and is joined in the National League starting outfield by Colorado\u2019s Charlie Blackmon and Marcell Ozuna (oh-ZOO\u2019-nuh) of the Marlins.<\/p>\n
The NL starting infield has first baseman Ryan Zimmerman and second baseman Daniel Murphy, both of the Nationals. Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado (ar-eh-NAH\u2019-doh) and Reds shortstop Zack Cozart fill out the infield, with Giants catcher Buster Posey behind the plate.<\/p>\n
Judge was the AL\u2019s top vote-getter and will be part of a starting outfield that includes Houston\u2019s George Springer and Mike Trout of the Angels. Trout is currently injured and plans to begin a rehab assignment this week.<\/p>\n
A pair of Astros are part of the AL\u2019s starting infield after shortstop Carlos Correa and second baseman Jose Altuve (al-TOO\u2019-vay) were chosen in the balloting, along with Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez and Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak. Kansas City\u2019s Salvador Perez will be the starting catcher for the Junior Circuit, and Tampa Bay\u2019s Corey Dickerson will serve as the designated hitter.<\/p>\n
The 12 first-time starters are the most since voting was returned to fans in 1970.<\/p>\n
Reliever Wade Davis was the only player chosen from the defending World Series-champion Cubs, and he wasn\u2019t with the team last season. The Cubs had seven All-Stars in 2016.<\/p>\n
