National League All-Stars manager Dave Roberts announced his starting lineup during a news conference Monday.

Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman will hit cleanup. He's the first Brave since Fred McGriff in 1996 to bat fourth in the midsummer classic.

Freeman also will participate in the home run derby Monday night.

Braves right fielder Nick Markakis will hit seventh. He's been a mainstay at cleanup for the Braves this season, but will hit between Bryce Harper and Brandon Crawford on Tuesday.

Second baseman Ozzie Albies is a reserve for the NL. Starter Mike Foltynewicz will be available to pitch.
