Veterans Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy join breakout star Andy Pages to anchor a star-studded 2026 Midsummer Classic lineup, solidifying the Los Angeles Dodgers as the league's dominant force.

Exactly one third of the National League's lineup in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game features Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers may not have the team's leadoff hitter, but first baseman Freddie Freeman will be batting third, followed by third baseman Max Muncy at fifth and center fielder Andy Pages at eighth.

It comes as no surprise that a trio of Dodgers players are in the starting lineup, but Dodgers fans weren't exactly sure as to where their players would be hitting.

Now, roughly 24 hours out from the Midsummer Classic, Freeman's, Muncy's, and Pages' spots in the lineup have been revealed.

Freddie Freeman bats third

Freeman, 36, is now a 10-time All-Star. His first All-Star game appearance came back in 2013, and he's only missed it a handful of times since that year.

The three-time World Series Champion and former World Series MVP continues to hit at an extremely high level. He's sitting at a .290 batting average through his first 94 games this season. Overall, he's slashing .290/.375/.487 with a stellar .862 OPS.

His 2.5 WAR remains incredible, as it has been throughout his entire career. Every single at-bat Freeman has this season has been at first-base, and that will be the same for however long he's in the lineup at the All-Star game.

Max Muncy hits fifth

Muncy, 35, is on pace for a career year. His .259 batting average is the highest it's been since he came to LA in 2018. He currently spots a 3.2 WAR, so somehow, he's been deemed more important to this team than Freeman.

Both are getting up there in age, but they continue to play at an extremely high level. All things considered, Muncy deserves this just as much, if not more than his All-Star selections in 2019 and 2021.

Andy Pages sits at eighth

For the first time in his career, Pages has been named an All-Star. Unlike Freeman and Muncy, Pages is only a two-time World Series Champion. Still, that's unbelievable, especially knowing he's only 25 years old.

Pages is still under team control through 2030. Looking at how many massive contracts this team has, it's hard to fathom this kid is making just $800,000.

Currently having a career year, Pages will bat near the bottom of the lineup as he plays center field in his first All-Star Game. He's slashing .270/.336/.471 with a career high .807 OPS and 4.5 WAR.
