Several All-Star pitchers sitting out Tuesday's game due to weekend starts

Summary

Three pitchers have been declared ineligible for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday due to their scheduled starts on Sunday. Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers will be replaced by Braxton Ashcraft, Max Meyer of the Miami Marlins will be replaced by Jesus Luzardo, and Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates will be replaced by Riley O'Brien. While pitchers who take the mound on Sunday can technically still pitch on Tuesday, it is rarely accommodated. The situation is compounded as several pitchers scheduled to start on Saturday may also face restrictions, raising questions about their availability. Teams have expressed reluctance for their players to participate shortly after previous starts.
