Can Mike Trout make it three All-Star Game MVP awards in a row?

That's the question for the Los Angeles Angels phenom as he was once again voted into the starting lineup for the American League Tuesday night. The All-Star Game will be played July 12 in San Diego, California.

There's never enough room on the MLB All-Star rosters for every deserving player. 

Both leagues' stacked Midsummer Classic teams were revealed Tuesday night. For every feel-good story recognized, some great players are left with nothing to show for their stellar starts.

American League and National League rosters for the 2016 MLB All-Star Game were revealed Tuesday during ESPN's selection show telecast.   

Next Tuesday's annual contest at Petco Park in San Diego will feature 34 players per team. A final fan vote will decide one last addition to each side.

Below is an overview of the rosters, excluding the last two still to be voted in:

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang is the subject of an investigation regarding an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Chicago last month, a police spokesman confirmed Tuesday to the Chicago Tribune's Stacy St. Clair and David Heinzmann.   

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Brayan Pena announced his plans Tuesday to join the Army Reserve in the offseason. 

"I'm very proud to announce with the support of my wife and family that I will be joining the Army Reserve this offseason," Pena said in a post on his Twitter account.

From David Ortiz to Johnny Cueto to Jose Bautista, the Dominican Republic is an MLB star-producing factory unlike any other.

This season, Big Papi, Johnny Beisbol and Joey Bats are among the 106 Dominicans who have graced the biggest stage with their presence.

When we think of the notion that pitching wins championships, we tend to think only in terms of World Series crowns. But pitching wins pennants as well—and some of that pitching arrives via in-season trades.

Consider this: Only once in the past six editions of the Fall Classic—2013—has neither participant had at least one starting pitcher in its rotation who wasn't acquired after Opening Day.

The All-Star Game is one week away, and Major League Baseball will announce the starting rosters for the American League and National League on Tuesday night.

While there is a chance for some changes in voting based on last week's results, the tightest races are in the American League's outfield and the National League's catching showdown. 

While MLB won't announce the starters until Tuesday night, the latest voting results provide a good indication of which players will represent their leagues in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.

MLB Communications released the latest tally as of June 27, three days before the voting closed on June 30. The winners at each position will then be announced Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Right now, the Los Angeles Dodgers' focus is aimed intently at Clayton Kershaw's lower back.

Until the three-time Cy Young Award-winner and 2014 National League MVP returns from the disabled list, little else matters for the Dodgers.
