The starting lineups have been announced for Tuesday night’s 2015 MLB All-Star Game, with Zack Greinke and Dallas Keuchel receiving the starting nod for their respective leagues. 

While the positional starters for the 2015 MLB All-Star Game were decided by the fans over a week ago, the full starting lineups were not officially complete until the managers for each team had selected their starting pitcher for Tuesday night.

The lineup cards are now in, with Ned Yost selecting Houston Astros ace Dallas Keuchel to start the game for the American League, and Bruce Bochy dubbing the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Zack Greinke as the National League’s starter. Keuchel will be making his first career All-Star Game appearance, while this will be Greinke’s third.

In addition to Keuchel, Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain of the American League will be in the starting lineup for their All-Star debut. Second Baseman DJ LeMahieu and left fielder Joc Pederson, who will start the game for the National League in place of the injured Dee Gordon and Matt Holiday, will be making their first All-Star Game appearances as well.

Other injury replacement starters are Adam Jones for Alex Gordon and Albert Pujols for Miguel Cabrera in the American League, and Andrew McCutchen replacing Giancarlo Stanton for the National League.

The announcements leave a total of four teams with two or more players in starting lineup: the Los Angeles Angels, Houston Astros, Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Dodgers.
