The 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is nearly here, and the star-studded festivities shouldn't disappoint when things get underway Tuesday night from Petco Park in San Diego.

But before the first pitch flies at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, it's worth taking some time to acquaint yourself with this year's rosters and starting lineups, which you can view below courtesy of ESPN Stats & Info on Twitter: 

On Monday, Giancarlo Stanton became the first player in Miami Marlins history to win the Home Run Derby.

Bleacher Report will be bringing sports fans the most interesting and engaging Cold Hard Fact of the day, presented by Coors Light.

The 2016 MLB Home Run Derby was a raging success in the second year of a new format, which featured timed rounds and a refreshing change of pace to an event that critics could argue tended to drag in the past.

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton wowed fans at Petco Park in San Diego, taking down defending champion Todd Frazier in the final to claim victory.

SAN DIEGO — The Master looked out at The Pupil. It was autumn, 2006, the first days of fall practice, and the incoming freshman class was finding its way, as ever, maturity not always matching exuberance. So there was work to be done. A lot of work.

What The Master saw as he scanned the horizon and focused on one freshman in particular was not future riches and stardom. Instead, what he noted was baby fat to be melted. Toughness to be instilled. What he saw was a lost ball in tall weeds.

The duty of making up the All-Star lineups is left to American League manager Ned Yost of the Kansas City Royals and National League manager Terry Collins of the New York Mets.

It's one of many jobs both men have in the All-Star Game. The two 2015 World Series managers want to knit together the best lineups possible, work nearly every reserve into the game and find a way to win the contest for their respective leagues.

The MLB All-Star break has arrived, and while our attention will turn to the festivities in San Diego for the next few days, we are also just a couple of weeks from this year's Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline.

So how do our MLB power rankings shape up heading into the break?

The Chicago Cubs and Texas Rangers continued to limp their way into the break, and we again have a new No. 1 team after the Cleveland Indians charged to the top spot last week but were unable to hold on.

Major League Baseball's 87th Midsummer Classic will assemble the best players from the 2016 season's first four months. 

On Tuesday, July 12, this year's edition will be from Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. The city of San Diego had also hosted the All-Star Game in 1992 from Jack Murphy Stadium and in 1978 from San Diego Stadium. 

Fantasy baseball gamers need the MLB All-Star break nearly as much as the players.

Managing a fake baseball squad is a thankless job with no off days. There's a reason fantasy football has commanded more mainstream popularity. Instead of setting one lineup a week, MLB fiends must monitor leagues on a daily basis for half the year.

More than midway into the season, owners of rotting rotisserie squads are realizing an epic comeback isn't happening. But don't give up this far into the game.

The 2016 MLB Home Run Derby is an exciting precursor to the All-Star Game at Petco Park in San Diego, where eight contestants will battle for boasting rights as the evening's top slugger on Monday.

A dash of innovation breathed new life into MLB's Home Run Derby one year ago, with the best sluggers in the world smashing balls over the fence and giving the event its traditional flavor.
