Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper and three Marlins among All-Stars coming to Marlins Park

MIAMI _ The All-Stars are coming to Miami _ and now we know who specifically.

Rookie phenoms Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger joined Midsummer Classic staples Bryce Harper and Jose Altuve and two Miami Marlins, among dozens of others, in being named All-Stars Sunday night for the July 11 exhibition at Marlins Park.

Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton and left fielder Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna was voted in as a starter by the fans, the seventh time in their history that a Marlins player earned that honor. Stanton is included as a reserve, picked by the players. It's the fourth career selection for Stanton, second for Ozuna.

Miami first baseman Justin Bour is one of five Final Vote candidates.

Joining Ozuna in the National League starting lineup will be three particularly familiar faces: Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, who led of baseball in fan voting (more than 4.63 million), plus first baseman Ryan Zimmerman and second baseman Daniel Murphy.

These rosters are not final. They will undergo some revision in the coming days as players pull out due to injury and other reasons. Angels star Mike Trout, for example, was voted in by the fans for his sixth All-Star selection in a row, but is a question mark as far as participation goes, having been on the disabled list since hurting his thumb at Marlins Park May 28.

New this year, All-Star rosters are comprised of 32 players instead of 34.

Starting position players were chosen by fan voting. Starting pitchers are chosen by the managers _ the Cubs' Joe Maddon for the NL, the Indians' Terry Francona for the AL _ and will be announced July 10.

Reserves and pitchers are chosen by a player vote and by the league.

Fans will have a say in who fills the last spot in the Final Vote."

In the AL, the candidates are Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus, Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius, Rays first baseman Logan Morrison and Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas.

In the NL, the candidates are Bour, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant, Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon, Rockies first baseman Mark Reynolds and Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner.

Here are the full rosters. For the reserves and pitchers, in parentheses is how the player was selected, by the players' ballot or by the Commissioner's Office.
