The Cubs’ Japanese slugger, who has a career-high 24 home runs and 75 RBI through just 85 games, now misses out on joining his teammates Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker and Matthew Boyd in Atlanta.

The announcement comes amid a five-game streak for Suzuki in which he’s slashing .316/.409/.737 (1.146 OPS) with four extra-base hits, including two home runs and six RBI. On the season as a whole, Suzuki is slashing .261/.318/.551 (.869 OPS).

Contrary to the fan-voted starting assignments given to Crow-Armstrong and Tucker, pitchers and reserves are chosen through a combination of votes from both players themselves and from the Commissioner’s Office.

The ballots instead opted for the Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber, who will join the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani as the two DH representatives on the NL side. Ohtani, the top NL vote-getter, received an automatic starting bid and bypassed the second round of fan voting.

Schwarber, who never made the team during his time with the Cubs, is now a three-time All-Star and has his first bid since 2022. The 32-year-old is slashing .251/.383/.541 (.924 OPS) with 27 home runs and 63 RBI.

Suzuki and Schwarber are very closely matched this season, though Schwarber has 16 more plate appearances in four more games played. Both have primarily stuck to the DH position, but Suzuki has logged 25 games in the outfield while Schwarber has spent just six in left.
