Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Dylan Cease, and Gus Varland have been selected as American League All-Stars, joining Ernie Clement to give the Toronto Blue Jays four representatives at the 2026 MLB All-Star Game. The announcement was made by Major League Baseball on Saturday.
Blue Jays Quartet Headed to All-Star Game
Guerrero Jr., the Blue Jays' first baseman, earned his fifth All-Star selection. He is batting .312 with 22 home runs and 74 RBIs this season, ranking among the AL leaders in multiple offensive categories. Cease, a right-handed pitcher acquired in a trade last offseason, posted a 9-4 record with a 2.89 ERA and 145 strikeouts over 112 innings. Varland, a reliever, has a 2.45 ERA with 12 saves in 38 appearances. Clement, an infielder, was named to his first All-Star team earlier this week as a reserve.
Blue Jays All-Star Selections Reflect Strong Season
The four selections tie the franchise record for most All-Stars in a single season, matching the 2015 and 2021 teams. The Blue Jays currently hold a 52-34 record, first place in the AL East. Manager John Schneider praised the players, stating, 'These four guys have been instrumental to our success. They absolutely deserve this honour.'
The All-Star Game will be held on July 14 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Guerrero Jr. will participate in the Home Run Derby on July 13, where he is the defending champion.
