DETROIT, July 7, 2025 ~ The official roster for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game released on Sunday, July 6, and four Detroit Tigers were named starters for the event in Atlanta. Pitcher Tarik Skubal, left fielder Riley Greene, second baseman Gleyber Torres, and center fielder Javier Báez all got the nod to start for the American League team.
This will be Skubal and Greene’s second consecutive appearance for Detroit. Skubal, who won the Cy Young last year and is in the running again this season, has a great chance of being named the games opening pitcher. Greene has shown a lot of power over the first half of the year, blasting 22 home runs while maintaining an .879 OPS.

(CONTINUED) Torres and Báez will be making their first All-Star Game appearances for the Tigers. Both players earned selections in 2018 and 2019 before achieving the prestigious spot in 2025.
Torres has been a tough out all season long, recording 48 walks, 44 runs batted in, and nine home runs. Báez, after filling in at center field early in the year due to injuries in the outfield, is having a resurgent year at the plate. He also has nine home runs to go with a .280 batting average.
First pitch is set for 8 p.m. at Truist Park on Tuesday, July 15.
