Left-hander Justin Wrobleski replaced an injured pitcher on the National League roster while outfielder Tristan Peters took an American League spot after hitting for the cycle. Both additions were announced Saturday for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia.
abcnews.go.comLeft-hander Justin Wrobleski of the Los Angeles Dodgers and outfielder Tristan Peters of the Chicago White Sox were added to the 2026 All-Star rosters on Saturday. Wrobleski replaced Cincinnati right-hander Chase Burns on the National League roster.
Burns will not be active for Tuesday night's game at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park because of tightness in his right groin. Peters took the roster spot of Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz, who was placed on the injured list with a sprained right thumb.
Wrobleski's season and roster context Wrobleski, 26, is 10-2 with a 2.69 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 100 1/3 innings. He joins two-way star Shohei Ohtani, right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, first baseman Freddie Freeman, third baseman Max Muncy and outfielder Andy Pages as Dodgers All-Stars. Ohtani will have his left knee drained Sunday to relieve continued irritation and will not go to Philadelphia.
303 with six homers and 35 RBIs in his first full major league season. He has 20 doubles and three triples; the most recent came in the seventh inning of Chicago's rout of the Athletics on Friday. That performance made Peters the seventh White Sox player to hit for the cycle and the first since Jose Abreu in September 2017.
Chicago obtained Peters' rights last December from Tampa Bay. Peters appeared in only four games with the Rays last season without a hit in 12 plate appearances.
“The White Sox gave me this opportunity and I went into it just trying to make the most out of it and just be who I am as a player, too.”
A native of Winkler, Manitoba, Peters became the second Canadian to record a cycle. He joins Cleveland right-hander Cade Smith and Miami infielder Otto Lopez, who holds dual Canadian-Dominican citizenship, as Canadians on the 2026 All-Star roster. Peters said becoming an All-Star was a pipe dream at the start of the season but thought it might become a possibility toward the end of the first half.
“I guess toward the end of this first half, I was like 'OK, maybe there's a chance,' but there's a lot of really, really talented players in this league.”
Peters joins White Sox teammates Miguel Vargas and Munetaka Murakami on the All-Star roster. Murakami, a rookie slugger from Japan, was added Friday just hours before he returned to action against the Athletics after missing six weeks with a right hamstring strain.
266 with 20 home runs, 66 RBIs and a league-leading 76 walks. 290 with 36 homers and 86 RBIs. He landed on the injured list for the second time in his career after being sidelined with a strained left hip flexor in May 2025.
