Detroit Tigers Add Zach McKinstry to Five-Player AL All-Star Roster

News summary

Detroit Tigers utilityman Zach McKinstry has been named to the 2025 American League All-Star team, replacing injured Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña. This marks McKinstry's first All-Star selection, a milestone reflecting his breakout season where he has become a key contributor, batting .283 with a .357 on-base percentage and leading the team in stolen bases. McKinstry's journey is notable as he was previously traded twice and mostly shuffled between Triple-A and MLB before finding a stable role with the Tigers. Detroit now boasts five All-Stars—McKinstry, Gleyber Torres, Javier Báez, Riley Greene, and Tarik Skubal—tying them with the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the most All-Stars in Major League Baseball. Manager A.J. Hinch and teammates celebrated McKinstry's selection as a testament to his hard work and versatility, highlighting his valuable presence in the Tigers' lineup and defense. The All-Star Game will take place on July 15th in Atlanta, where several replacements due to injuries have been named across both leagues.
