Peters is a native of Winkler, Manitoba, and became the second Canadian to record a cycle. He joins Cleveland right-hander Cade Smith and Miami infielder Otto Lopez on the 2026 All-Star roster. "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," Peters said.
