CBS SPORTS (KFSM) – On Tuesday, July 12, baseball’s best and brightest stars will convene in San Diego’s Petco Park for the 2016 All-Star Game. The Home Run Derby will be held on July 11 and the Futures Game will kick off the All-Star festivities on July 10.

Tuesday night, MLB announced the All-Star Game starters and reserves for both the AL and NL. Fans were given the opportunity to vote for the starting position players in each league. The 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot — available exclusively via MLB.com, team sites and mobile devices — was accessible through June 30.

The pitchers and reserve players for both leagues were determined through a combination of player voting and manager selection. By virtue of winning the 2015 pennant in their respective leagues, Royals manager Ned Yost will manage the AL All-Star team, while Mets skipper Terry Collins runs the NL squad.
