The Dodgers are sending three position players to Philadelphia as National League starters for the 2026 All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. Andy Pages, Max Muncy, and Freddie Freeman were all voted in by fans, per Dodger Blue. Pages earned his first career All-Star nod — and it took some late drama to get there. Muncy won the NL third base spot over the Phillies’ Alex Bohm in Phase 2 voting after leading throughout Phase 1. Freeman’s selection was the most predictable of the bunch, as he led all NL first basemen at every voting update and beat out the Braves’ Matt Olson in the final round.

Pages being named a starter is the headline here, and it’s well-deserved. The 25-year-old outfielder has taken a massive leap in his second full big-league season after flashing potential but dealing with the usual growing pains in 2025. He always had the raw power — that was evident from his minor league days when he was mashing in Double-A and Triple-A — but the consistency and plate discipline have caught up this year. Whatever adjustments he and the coaching staff made over the offseason clearly stuck. Getting voted in as a starter, not just selected as a reserve or a pitchers’ pick, says something about how visible his breakout has been to the wider baseball audience. The fact that it came down to the wire with some late voting magic makes it even better. First All-Star selection at 25 with this kind of trajectory? We could be looking at a fixture in these games for years.

Muncy’s selection is a nice validation for a guy who has been through some real ups and downs in Dodger Blue. He’s been an All-Star before (2021), but there were stretches — the 2023 elbow injury, some inconsistent offensive seasons — where you wondered if he’d get back to this level. He’s always been one of the more patient hitters in baseball, with on-base percentages that outpace what casual fans might expect from him. Winning the vote over Bohm, who plays in the host city, is no small thing. Muncy’s defense at third has been solid enough this year, and the bat has clearly been doing the talking. Good for him.

Freeman being voted in as the starting first baseman is about as surprising as the sun coming up. He’s been one of the best players in the National League for the better part of a decade, and 2026 has been no different. Since arriving in Los Angeles before the 2022 season, he’s been a model of consistency — elite contact, power, and an ability to perform in the biggest moments (we all remember the 2024 World Series). This is another in a long line of All-Star nods for Freeman, and he earned it by simply being who he always is: one of the most complete hitters in the game.

Three starters in the All-Star Game is a strong statement about where this roster is right now. It reflects what we’ve been watching all first half — this team has legitimate depth and star power across the lineup. Pages emerging alongside proven guys like Freeman and Muncy gives our lineup a different dimension. It also speaks to the fan base showing up in voting, which, honestly, Dodger fans have always been good at. Enjoy the Fourth of July, and enjoy seeing our guys represent in Philly.
