WASHINGTON — The votes are in and Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the All-Star Game in D.C. this season.

MLB’s 89th All-Star Game gets underway at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

With that being said, here is your 2018 American League All-Star team.

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez gets ready for a pitch during the first inning of a spring training baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018, in Surprise, Ariz. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall) — Catcher: Salvador Perez, Kansas City Royals Perez was named the AL’s starting catcher in the wake of Wilson Ramos’ hamstring injury. Perez’s offense has dropped off this year, as he’s hitting just .221, but he’s arguably the best defensive catcher in the game and has still slugged 13 home runs. This will be his sixth consecutive trip to the Midsummer Classic and his fourth as a starter. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)

Huh) — First base: Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox Cuban-born slugger Jose Abreu is the first member of the White Sox to start an All-Star Game since Frank Thomas back in 1996. Despite getting off to a hot start, Abreu has really struggled in June and July. Despite his recent struggles, he is still hitting .259/.315/.448, and leads all American League second basemen with 27 doubles and 50 RBI. This is Abreu’s first time starting an All-Star Game — he previously made it as a reserve in his rookie season of 2014. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)

Houston Astros' Jose Altuve prepares for an at-bat during the first inning of a baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels, Monday, May 14, 2018, in Anaheim, Calif. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong) — Second baseman: Jose Altuve, Houston Astros Not much of a surprise that the reigning American League MVP received more votes than anyone else in baseball. Through July 8, Altuve leads the AL in hits and his .338 batting average is second-best in the junior circuit. He leads all qualified second baseman in the AL in hits, batting average, on-base percentage and OPS. This is Altuve’s sixth All-Star Game and his third as a starter. Fun fact: Altuve made the National League All-Star team in 2012 and is the only person to play in All-Star Game for the same team in two different leagues. The Astros moved from the NL to the AL in 2013. The Milwaukee Brewers are the only other team to switch leagues. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado jogs off the field between innings of a baseball game against the Seattle Mariners, Monday, June 25, 2018, in Baltimore. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) — Shortstop: Manny Machado, Baltimore Orioles Machado is no stranger to the All-Star Game but this is his first year playing as a full-time shortstop. There is no shortage of really good shortstops in the AL this year, but Machado ranks in the top three in batting average, on-base percentage, OPS and homers. His 21 homers place him in a four-way tie for eighth in the American League. Oriole fans might want to savor this game. Machado is a free agent at the end of the season and could be traded before then, meaning the All-Star Game could be Machado’s swan song as a member of the Orioles. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) — Outfielder: Aaron Judge, New York Yankees If you like home runs, you’ll love Aaron Judge. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year has already hit 25 of them through July 8, which puts in him a two-way tie for second place in all of baseball. Judge also ranks in the top five in the AL in slugging percentage, on-base percentage, OPS, runs scored and walks. This is Judge’s second straight All-Star appearance and second straight time in the starting lineup. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II)

For qualified outfielders in American League, he rates in the top three for homers and batting average, and is in the top five for stolen bases. More than halfway through the season he is worth 6.6 wins above replacement, which is threatening to challenge the single-season MLB record for position players (14.1) set by some guy named Babe Ruth in 1923. This is Trout’s seventh-straight All-Star Game and his fifth time appearing in the starting lineup. (AP Photo/Kyusung Gong)

His .329 batting average is the fourth-best in the majors, and he ranks in the top five in most offensive categories in the American League. This is Martinez’s second trip to the All-Star Game. Back in 2015, he was named to the AL All-Star team as a member of the Detroit Tigers, but was not a starter. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

In addition to his 11 home runs, his .358 on-base percentage would rank second among AL first basemen, if he had enough at-bats to qualify. This is his first All-Star Game. (AP Photo/Winslow Townson)

New York Yankees' Gleyber Torres hits an RBI double during the second inning of a baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, June 16, 2018, in New York.

(AP Photo/David Dermer) — Shortstop: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians If it weren’t for Mike Trout, Lindor’s name would probably come up when people talk about the best players in the game. Through the All-Star break, he cracks the top ten in the AL for wins above replacement, runs scored, hits, total bases, doubles and homers and leads American League shortstops in home runs. This is Lindor’s third All-Star Game. (AP Photo/David Dermer)

This is second All-Star Game, he was the starting left fielder for the American League last year. (AP Photo/Jeffrey McWhorter)

This will be his sixth All-Star Game and his first since 2013. The good news for NL hitters is they won’t have to face Verlander, since the Astros’ manager (who is also the manager for the AL on account of winning the pennant) already ruled Verlander won’t actually pitch in the game.
