MLB All-Star Voting Results 2019: Full Selections, Starters, Snubs and Voting
June 30, 2019
Complete rosters for the 2019 MLB All-Star Game were released Sunday with the hitting reserves and the pitchers, which were selected by the league's players and managers, being added to the fan-chosen starting lineups that were announced Thursday.
The 90th All-Star Game is going to take place July 9 at Progressive Field in Cleveland. It's the sixth time the home of the Indians will host the Midsummer Classic with the most recent coming in 1997. It's also the first time in five years an American League team is hosting the event.
Although the rosters are now officially set, expect to see numerous changes over the next 10 days as injuries arise and pitchers are deemed unavailable based on when they pitch for their clubs. So many of the players deemed snubs have a good chance to make the trip to Cleveland anyway.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Hyun-Jin Ryu will start the game for the National League side.
Let's check out the full list of the voting results for both the AL and NL.

Biggest Snub: Byron Buxton (Twins)
It's hard to believe the Twins, who entered Sunday leading the MLB in runs scored, only had one hitter named to the All-Star team. Buxton is finally enjoying his long-awaited breakout season with an .835 OPS, 10 stolen bases and nine home runs in 66 games. Add in elite defense and he should be Cleveland-bound.
