Major League Baseball will play its 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta, four years after moving the game from Truist Park to Denver's Coors Field over objections to changes in Georgia's voting rights laws.

Atlanta was awarded the 2021 All-Star Game in May 2019, but MLB moved it in April 2021, just three months before the game was played.

The Rangers will host next year's All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas, and the 2026 game will be in Philadelphia to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The MLB All-Star Game has grown into a truly Texas-sized event since the last time the Rangers hosted the midsummer classic, and the countdown is on for next year's festivities.

Major League Baseball and the Rangers unveiled the logo Thursday for the 2024 All-Star Game at Globe Life Field, the retractable-roof stadium across the street from the open-air facility where the 1995 All-Star Game was played in extreme heat. The logo for the July 16 game includes an outline of Texas and has All-Star punctuated with the state's emblematic star.

Elias Diaz won MVP honors as the National League defeated the American League 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Diaz hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning to put the NL in front. The victory ended the AL's nine-game winning streak.

The loaded National League All-Star lineup will face New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, who will start the Midsummer Classic for the first time in his career.

American League manager Dusty Baker named Cole, 32, a six-time All-Star, to face Arizona Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen, who will start the game Tuesday night at T-Mobile Park in his first appearance.

Now two generations of Vladimir Guerreros have won the Home Run Derby.

On a night that Julio Rodriguez put on a record-setting show in front of a hometown crowd, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the night, ousting Rodriguez and beating Randy Arozarena in the finals to capture the Home Run Derby.

The Chicago Cubs have placed All-Star shortstop Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list with a left heel contusion.

Swanson had already been ruled out of Tuesday's All-Star Game because of the injury after being selected as a reserve for the second straight season.

The field for the 2023 Home Run Derby on Monday night in Seattle is set.

Pete Alonso, Julio Rodriguez and Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. will be joined in the contest by first-timers Luis Robert, Mookie Betts, Adley Rutschman, Adolis Garcia and Randy Arozarena.

The players will be seeded as follows:

1. Luis Robert
2. Pete Alonso
3. Mookie Betts
4. Adolis Garcia
5. Randy Arozarena
6. Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.
7. Julio Rodriguez
8. Adley Rutschman

Elly De La Cruz declined an invitation from Major League Baseball to participate in next week's Home Run Derby.

"I'd rather focus on this season and make sure I'm able to contribute to this team and help this team win," the Cincinnati Reds rookie said.

The Derby field so far includes Julio Rodriguez, Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Mookie Betts, Randy Arozarena, Adley Rutschman, and two-time champion Pete Alonso. 

Five players were named as All-Star replacements on Tuesday.

Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar was named to the National League roster, replacing Clayton Kershaw, who is on the injured list with a left shoulder issue.

Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez and right-hander George Kirby, Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco and Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker were added to the American League All-Star roster, replacing Yordan Alvarez, Shane McClanahan, Aaron Judge and Mike Trout.

All-Star outfielder Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels said he anticipates returning this season despite a broken left wrist suffered when he fouled off a pitch Monday night.

"Of course," Trout said Tuesday, a few hours after the Angels announced he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a broken hamate bone.

"I've had other guys reach out who've had this surgery before, or had this injury before. I don't know if it's going to need surgery or not. We'll know in the next couple of days, I guess. Some guys came back in four weeks, some guys take a little longer just to see how their body heals."
