Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was the first to commit to the event, to be held at his home yard, Truist Park in Atlanta. However, one day after the field was finalized, MLB announced that his teammate Matt Olson would replace him.

Shohei Ohtani will lead off as the designated hitter while the National League aims for consecutive All-Star wins for the first time in over a decade.

The Atlanta Braves are looking like longshots to make the postseason. They have plenty of stars who could draw interest at the trade deadline.
