All you need to know about the 2024 All-Star Game
The rosters are (mostly) set and all is just about ready for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday at Globe Life Field in Arlington. The home of the Rangers will host the 94th Midsummer Classic for a game that will have a distinct Texas vibe, from the players uniforms to the concessions and more. The American League will look to rebound from a 3-2 loss last season in Seattle, while the National League will look for back-to-back wins for the first time since it won three straight from 2010-2012.

Semien will start the All-Star Game for the third straight season.

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler (back) to skip Sunday start​

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler will skip his scheduled start Sunday and use the upcoming All-Star break to recover from nagging back issues. Wheeler, a two-time NL All-Star, left his last start, a 10-1 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, after five innings because of back spasms. After the game, the 34-year-old right-hander said he had been dealing with the back issue for weeks. Wheeler had an MRI on Wednesday that showed no structural damage. He reported still being sore Wednesday, but manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that his pitcher was feeling better. Wheeler is 10-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 19 starts for the major league-leading Phillies.

Pirates rookie ace Paul Skenes named NL's All-Star starter​

Rookie sensation Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates will start for the National League at Tuesday's All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas. The right-hander, 22, was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft and has started only 11 games in the major leagues. National League All-Star manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks informed Skenes and the public of his decision Friday morning by calling into Skenes' interview on the "Dan Patrick Show."

The 6-foot-6 Skenes made his MLB debut on May 11 and has struck out 89 batters with 13 walks across 66⅓ innings this season. He has the most punchouts with a sub-2.00 ERA through 11 starts since ERA became an official statistic in 1913, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He becomes just the fifth rookie pitcher to start the All-Star Game -- the first in nearly 30 years. He joins Hideo Nomo (1995), Fernando Valenzuela (1981), Mark Fidrych (1976) and Dave Stenhouse (1962). Skenes is also the first Pirates pitcher to start the Midsummer Classic since Jerry Reuss in 1975.
