Who got snubbed?

MLB on FOX reporter Ken Rosenthal laid out which names he believes should be in the All-Star Game but were left out in the cold.

FOX Sports MLB Writer Jordan Shusterman also offered his picks with his 2022 All-Snub team.

MLB All-Star Game snubs: Three players who deserved a trip to Los Angeles

Jordan Shusterman names his top three players who deserved a trip to Los Angeles for the MLB All-Star Game but were snubbed. Do you agree?

Seager added for AL's bench

One player who ultimately was not snubbed was Texas Rangers slugger Corey Seager. He replaces Toronto outfielder George Springer, who has opted to skip the festivities to rest his balky elbow.

Roster stuffle!

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez is now a starter in place of the Houston Astros' Jose Altuve, who injured his knee this week. Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Santiago Espinal, Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley and Dodgers pitcher Tyler Anderson were also added to the roster. St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm and San Francisco Giants pitcher Carlos Rodón will not participate. 

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Devin Williams, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jordan Romano and Chicago White Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks were added in place of Atlanta Braves pitcher Max Fried, Yankees' pitcher Gerrit Cole and Astros' pitcher Justin Verlander.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Ty France was added to the AL roster in place of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout who will no longer participate.

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is joining the National League, replacing New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte.

Who's in the Home Run Derby?

The first name revealed as a participant in the 2022 Home Run Derby was back-to-back defending champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets.

NL starter and one of the game's brightest stars Ronald Acuña Jr. is one of the names facing off with Alonso. 

A surprise entry into the fray is future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, who returned to the Cardinals this season.

The fourth entry is Washington Nationals superstar Juan Soto

It was announced Tuesday that Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber will be the fifth entrant into the field. 

The sixth addition to the field will be Seattle Mariners rookie Julio Rodriguez.

The seventh batter is José Ramirez of the Guardians.

And last but not least is Corey Seager of the Texas Rangers.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week!
