Altuve was voted in by baseball fans as the starting second baseman for the American League.

Harris was named as a reserve by AL manager Ned Yost of the World Series champion Kansas City Royals.

This will be Altuve's fourth All-Star Game appearance (2012, 2014-16). He recently won the AL Player of the Month for June.

"It's a dream come true," Altuve said.
