NEW YORK—Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani became the first player elected to start at designated hitter in four straight All-Star Games, and was joined by New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge as the only holdovers in the lineups announced Wednesday for the July 16 game in Arlington, Texas.

The Philadelphia Phillies could have three of the four National League infielders after fans voted shortstop Trea Turner and third baseman Alec Bohm to start alongside first baseman Bryce Harper, whose status is uncertain because of a leg injury.
