Tonight at 7 p.m. ET, Major League Baseball presents the 2015 All-Star Game Selection Show.
After announcing the starting position players on Sunday, the MLB now reveals the reserves and the pitchers for the 86th annual Midsummer Classic on July 14 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, the home of the Reds.
Along with the reserves and pitchers, the final vote candidates will also be revealed for the game.
The 2015 MLB All-Star Selection Show can be live streamed for free here.
The MLB announced Sunday which players will start for each All-Star team and eventually each club will have 34 players on its roster by the time the All-Star festivities get underway in just one week.
For the visiting American League team, Salvador Perez (Kansas City Royals) starts at catcher, Miguel Cabrera (Detroit Tigers) plays first base, Jose Altuve (Houston Astros) is at second, Alcides Escobar (Royals) is at shortstop and Josh Donaldson (Toronto Blue Jays), who set a record for most votes all-time, slots in at third.
In the outfield, Lorenzo Cain (Royals), Alex Gordon (Royals) and Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels) get the starting honors.
Due to injuries, such as Cabrera, some replacements are needed and the MLB will turn to the Players Ballot with the top vote-getter other than Cabrera getting the chance to start.
Over in the National League, Buster Posey (San Francisco Giants) starts behind the plate, Paul Goldschmidt (Arizona Diamondbacks) will man first, Dee Gordon (Miami Marlins) plays second, Jhonny Peralta (St. Louis Cardinals) suits up at shortstop and Todd Frazier (host Cincinnati Reds) plays the hot corner.
In the outfield, NL voting record-setter Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals), Matt Holliday (Cardinals) and Giancarlo Stanton (Marlins) were voted to play. Stanton, however, is injured.
As the MLB gets closer to the midway point of the season, the All-Star Game rosters will begin to get rounded out tonight on the Selection Show.
