Shohei Ohtani back in the leadoff spot as MLB All-Star lineups announced
'I think when you're talking about the game, where it's at, these two guys … are guys that you can root for, are super talented, are going to be faces of this game for years to come,' Roberts said.

Baltimore designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn, Tampa Bay third baseman Junior Caminero, Tigers center fielder Javy Báez, and Athletics shortstop Jacob Wilson. Ohtani led off for the AL in the 2021 All-Star Game, when the two-way sensation also was the AL's starting pitcher. He hit leadoff in 2022, then was the No. 2 hitter for the AL in 2023 and for the NL last year after leaving the Los Angeles Angels for the Dodgers.

Red Sox could target $8.2 million Cardinals All-Star to boost bullpen
The Boston Red Sox head into the All-Star break on a high note after closing the first half of the 2025 season with a 10-game winning streak. The team is 52-45 and in sole possession of the second American League Wild Card spot. While some thought they would be sellers at the trade deadline after the Rafael Devers deal, that may not be the case now. They are a contender and could use some help in the coming weeks. Advertisement They'll need a little bit of help with their bullpen, as beyond closer Aroldis Chapman, there are question marks. A little help at the back end certainly wouldn't hurt. Sean McAdam of proposed the idea of Boston trading for St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley. "It's possible the Sox could acquire a closer like Ryan Helsley or Pittsburgh's David Bednar and utilize him in the eighth," McAdam said. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Helsley saved 49 games last year, setting a Cardinals franchise record and earning National League Reliever of the Year honors. Advertisement This year, the 30-year-old right-hander hasn't been quite as dominant, posting a 3.27 ERA in 33 appearances, but he has still recorded 19 saves with St. Louis. The two-time All-Star could help Boston form a deadly combination at the back end of its bullpen in the second half of the season. Two proven closers will give the Red Sox a great chance to reach the postseason and potentially even gain ground in the AL East. The Red Sox will have to give up a good deal of prospects for the All-Star closer if they decide to trade for him. However, they have a strong farm system and could easily pull off a deal. We'll see where the Red Sox land in their search for bullpen help. More MLB: Red Sox's interest in trade for former Cy Young winner revealed

Aaron Judge is barreling toward the hallowed 500-homer club. He might be joined by several peers
Aaron Judge became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 350 career homers and it feels inevitable that the Bronx slugger will join the hallowed 500-homer club sometime in the next several years. He could have plenty of company. The 28-player group could swell significantly in the coming decade, with Yankees teammate Giancarlo Stanton (432), Mike Trout (395), Paul Goldschmidt (370), Manny Machado (359), Freddie Freeman (353), Nolan Arenado (351) and Bryce Harper (346) all within striking distance. Lurking a little further down the active leaderboard, Kyle Schwarber (314), Eugenio Suarez (307), Mookie Betts (282), Francisco Lindor (267), Shohei Ohtani (257) and Pete Alonso (247) are piling up big numbers and still in their early 30s. And then there's Juan Soto, who already has 224 homers at the tender age of 26. Some are stronger candidates than others, given their injury history and age. The 35-year-old Stanton has battled various ailments over the past several seasons, but has been productive when he's played. The 33-year-old Trout has been slowed by injuries, too, but hit enough homers in his 20s that it would be surprising if he didn't eventually reach the mark. This generation's group of sluggers is reminiscent of a stretch from 2001 to 2009, when Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Jim Thome, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez, Frank Thomas and Gary Sheffield all made it to 500. The biggest difference is several of those players' accomplishments were tainted — at least to some — because it was part of a era that included widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs. The club has been relatively hard to join over the past decade. The last to reach 500 was Detroit's Miguel Cabrera on Aug. 22, 2021. Before that, Red Sox star David Ortiz slugged his 500th homer in 2015. Even among the elite sluggers, Judge stands out for the speed in which he's piling up dingers. Many forget he didn't play his first full big league season until he was 25, but the 33-year-old has needed just 1,088 games to reach 350 homers. Unsung non All-Stars This group of players won't be featured at the All-Star game in Atlanta, but they are having great under-the-radar seasons through the first half. Ceddanne Rafalea, Red Sox: The 24-year-old center fielder has blossomed in his second full MLB season and is hitting .271 with 14 homers, 48 RBIs and 13 stolen bases, all while playing excellent defense. Nico Hoerner and Michael Busch, Cubs: Hoerner continues to be one of the game's best second basemen, batting .283 with 18 doubles, 39 RBIs and 16 stolen bases, all while providing Gold Glove-caliber defense. The 27-year-old Busch is batting .290 with 19 homers, providing the NL Central-leading Cubs some thump. Cristopher Sanchez, Phillies: The left-hander has been a big part of a stacked Philadelphia rotation with a 8-2 record, 2.50 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 115 innings. He put an exclamation point on his first half on Sunday, giving up just one run over 7 1/3 innings in a 2-1 win over the Padres. Framber Valdez, Astros: The righty had a terrific first half with a 10-4 record, 2.75 ERA and 125 strikeouts in 121 innings. Trivia Question Soto's 224 career homers lead the pack for MLB players who haven't turned 30 years old. Who are the other players in their 20s that round out the top five? Here come the Red Sox The Boston Red Sox have won 10 straight games heading into the All-Star break — their longest winning streak since 2018 — setting up an intriguing second half for a club that looked very average for most of the season's first three months. Rafaela has been one of the major catalysts for Boston's surge, hitting a walk-off homer and another two-run homer. The AL East race could be a barnburner as summer turns to fall with the Blue Jays (55-41), Yankees (53-43), Red Sox (53-45) and Rays (50-47) all in the mix. Even the last-place Orioles aren't completely out of it yet, sitting at 43-52 which is 11 1/2 games out of first place. Trivia Answer Rafael Devers (217), Ronald Acuna Jr. (177), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (172) are two through four. Yordan Alvarez and Austin Riley are tied for fifth at 167. Cody Bellinger has 212 homers but turned 30.

Red Sox's Ceddanne Rafaela Breaks Silence on Unwanted Move
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox have managed to replace Rafael Devers in the lineup as they hit the All-Star break on a surprising 10-game win streak. And perhaps no player has stepped up as well as Ceddanne Rafaela, who has performed as one of the best center fielders in the American League since Devers was traded to the San Francisco Giants. Making all of his starts this season at center field, Rafaela had raised his slash line to a career high .271/.314/.483 this year. But the team moved him to second base for the first time this season for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. And after the game he spoke out about that change to note that he prefers playing in the outfield. "I really want to see what I can do playing center field," Rafaela said, according to Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. "I'll play wherever the team needs me. But I think I'm best in center." BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 29: Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during the fourth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park on June 29, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo... BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 29: Ceddanne Rafaela #3 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during the fourth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park on June 29, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by) More Rutherford/Getty When asked how good he thinks he could be if he only played center field, Rafaela responded, "you tell me," per Abraham. Rafaela went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's game, but it seems likely that the Red Sox will get a bigger sample size on his production from the keystone after the All-Star break. Infielders Alex Bregman and Romy Gonzalez have been banged up and the team has a bit of a logjam in the outfield, so Rafaela could be called upon to man second about once a week going forward. But as he enjoys a torrid streak at the plate, any change could be a cause for concern that his offensive production might come to an end. "Ideally the Sox would leave Rafaela in center and let him cook," Abraham added. "He's one of the best players in the game right now, don't change a thing." Unfortunately, the Red Sox roster has necessitated a change for Rafaela. But he could very well keep up his offensive pace while displaying some valuable defensive versatility as well.
