Francisco Lindor and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were named All-Star starters after the second phase of voting ended. Both of them will earn their fifth cap in the Midsummer Classic as they face off in the duels between the best from the National League and American League.
As Lindor and Guerrero earned All-Star nods, their biggest support systems, their wives, celebrated their success on Instagram. Lindor's wife Katia wrote about how proud she is of her partner while Guerrero's better half Nathalie thanked Blue Jays fans for propelling him to the position.


Francisco Lindor was voted over Los Angeles Dodgers' Mookie Betts. He has a .261 average with 46 RBIs and 17 home runs. He celebrated his All-Star nod with a home run on Wednesday night in the game against the Milwaukee Brewers. After the game, he expressed his gratitude.
“I’m honored and proud to be able to take the field in Atlanta as a Met. It’s going to be good, I’m looking forward to it. There’s a lot of good people in this organization and to represent them. I do that with a lot of pride and utmost respect. It’s a great organization. I look forward to it. To represent the Mets, the fans that voted me in, and my family,” Lindor said.
Similarly, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who beat New York Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt, gave a heartfelt message to Toronto Blue Jays fans. He is batting at a .278 pace with 44 RBIs and 12 home runs.
“I’m very happy,” Guerrero said through club interpreter Hector Lebron. “Very happy and very proud, especially now that my daughter can go to another All-Star Game and the rest of my family can enjoy it, as well.”
Francisco Lindor's children surprise him with special 'All-Star' worthy celebration
Francisco Lindor was greeted back home by his three children, daughters Kalina and Amapola and son Koa, with a special gift. The three of them prepared a chart paper for their 'Papa' with "Congrats All-Star" written on it, signed with their names.

This All-Star selection, his first since 2019, selection must feel special for Lindor after first missing out in 2023 to be a reserve to Arizona Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo, and last year he wasn't in contention during the first half of the season due to slow start before rebounding with a NL MVP runner-up finish.
