MLB All-Star Game Live Stream 2016: How to Watch

The MLB All-Star Game is finally here. While a number of Tigers players didn’t get into the game, Miguel Cabrera will still be playing at some point. Here’s what to know.

The MLB All-Star Game is upon. The annual contest to decide which league will claim home-field advantage in the World Series takes place on Tuesday, June 12^th, 2016.

For the first time seemingly in forever, the Detroit Tigers will only send one player to the annual mid-summer classic. That player is future first-ballot Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera. Cabrera will come off the bench and likely see a few innings of work and an at-bat or two.

You’ll probably see the Tigers slugger somewhere in innings three through six considering Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer is the only other first baseman on the roster.

In a perfect world, Miggy would have been joined by a number of teammates, notably Ian Kinsler, Michael Fulmer, Nick Castellanos and Francisco Rodriguez. However, those four and the rest of the Tigers will get a chance to rest before the second half of the season.

Despite the quartet of Tigers not being there, the game won’t be without familiar faces. With Johnny Cueto starting for the National League, two former Detroit pitchers will be available out of the bullpen. Fernando Rodney, who was recently dealt Marlins and has only allowed four earned runs all season, made the team. Joining him in relief is fellow old friend Max Scherzer, who makes it in for the fourth consecutive season.
