Chicago outfielder Tristan Peters has been named to the American League All-Star team as a replacement for injured Athletics slugger Nick Kurtz. The announcement comes a day after Peters became the seventh player in White Sox history to hit for the cycle. Kurtz had been set to start at first base for the American League at next week’s All-Star Game but he went on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right thumb sprain. Peters joins White Sox teammates Miguel Vargas and Munetaka Murakami on the 2026 All-Star roster. Murakami, a rookie slugger from Japan, was added Friday.
