The 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is scheduled for July 11 at Seattle's T-Mobile Park, and on Sunday the full rosters for the American League and National League squads were unveiled.
Starters had already been announced following the conclusion of the two-phase fan ballot. The remainder of each league's 32-man roster -- meaning reserves and 12 pitchers -- was determined by player vote and in some instances commissioner's selection. Each of MLB's 30 teams must be represented by at least one All-Star selection, although that selection doesn't have to play or even be healthy enough to play.
The Braves topped the field with eight All-Star selections this year, followed by the Rangers and Dodgers with five while the Orioles and Blue Jays are sending four apiece. The Braves' eight All-Stars is the most by any team since the 2012 Rangers also had eight. Also, the Dodgers have at least five All-Stars for the fourth consecutive season while the Blue Jays have at least four for the third consecutive season. Finally, the Orioles have multiple All-Stars for the first time since 2016.
Now for the full rosters.

In the case of Judge or any other injured player voted as a starter by fans, the respective manager will select a replacement starter from his pool of reserves. Ohtani received his starting spot prior to Phase 2 of the fan vote for being the AL's top vote-earner in Phase 1. The remaining eight starters in each league were selected from two finalists at each position during Phase 2 of fan balloting.
