Aaron Judge is in the starting lineup and Yankee teammates Jazz Chisholm and Carlos Rodon are among the AL reserves for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.
Aaron Judge leads the Yankees' contingent at Tuesday night's All-Star Game in Atlanta, and the American League side has a very Bronx feel.
As the AL team's skipper, Yankees manager Aaron Boone brought his entire coaching staff with him at Truist Park, along with All-Star reserves Jazz Chisholm Jr., Carlos Rodon and Max Fried.
Also, back in spring training, Boone invited Joe Torre to be the AL's honorary coach, and the Hall of Fame former Yankees manager immediately accepted.
Torre also played for and managed the Braves, and he'll be in the AL dugout tonight, wearing a Yankees' road uniform.
Originally, Fried's Saturday start took him out of consideration for pitching (allowing Rodon to replace him), but he's also dealing with a blister on his left index finger that might further delay his first start after the break.
In his seventh All-Star Game, Judge will be in right field and batting third for the AL team, while Chisholm should be subbed in later at second base and Rodon is available to pitch at some point.
Off the bat
Fried just got a huge ovation, as expected, from the Atlanta fans who watched him pitch for eight seasons as a Brave - making two All-Star teams and winning a World Series.
Torre also got a very warm ovation, and it's great to see him in the more traditional updated Yankees' road grays.
About those uniforms...
THANKFULLY we're back to teams wearing their own jerseys, not specialized "AL'' and "NL'' uniforms, and it's great.
That's also something Boone has long advocated for - that touch of All-Star nostalgia, dating back to being a kid and watching his dad Bob play in this event.
So, Boone is especially thrilled that the individual team uniforms are back in the All-Star Game.
First inning coming up: Gleyber Torres & Aaron Judge
Another nice touch in this All-Star Game, having current Detroit Tiger and ex-Yankee Gleyber Torres leading off for the AL.
Gleyber was an All-Star with the Yanks in his first two seasons, 2018 & 2019 and hasn't returned until now with the first-place Tigers.
By the way, here's one prediction: Even if Judge gets one of those below-the-knees strikes called against him, he won't use the ABS challenge. On the other hand, when Jazz gets to the plate...
First pitch coming up soon.
Paul Skenes vs. Aaron Judge
Well, this is what the All-Star Game is about - matchups like this.
After Pirates ace Paul Skenes struck out Gleyber and Riley Greene, flashing 100-mph stuff, here's Judge...
...and he grounds out on a 99.5-mph, 0-1 fastball by Skenes, who sets the tone for the NL with a 1-2-3 first inning.
