The Astros had two players, second baseman Jose Altuve and closer Will Harris, named to the 2016 All-Star Game Tuesday evening, and the club has a chance for a third as right fielder George Springer was named a Final Vote nominee.

On Tuesday night, right-hander Danny Salazar and shortstop Francisco Lindor were named to the American League All-Star team — a first for both players.

We acknowledge that picking All-Star teams is an impossible task. No matter how thorough the selection process, there’ll be oversights here, there and everywhere. Here’s a miniature and highly imperfect list of oversights in each league.

Josh Donaldson, Edwin Encarnacion and Marco Estrada are headed to the All-Star Game presented by MasterCard in San Diego. There’s even a possibility that Michael Saunders will join them as well via the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote.

Masahiro Tanaka was extremely sharp on Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field. White Sox starter Carlos Rodon was not, adding up to a 9-0 victory for New York to even this three-game set at one win apiece.

The increased usage and specialization of bullpens is one of many sea changes MLB has experienced in recent years.

Dingers or bust, apparently.

The Blue Jays’ offense showed no signs of slowing down on Tuesday night — pounding out 13 hits, including four home runs — in an 8-3 series-clinching win over the Royals at Rogers Centre.

Giancarlo Stanton might not be an All-Star this year, but his performance Tuesday night reminded fans why he’s still a household name. Stanton smacked a two-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Marlins ahead, then added a three-run shot an inning later in a 5-2 Miami victory over the Mets at Citi Field.

What in the world has gotten into the Phillies’ offense?

Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has been invited to represent the National League in the All-Star Game presented by MasterCard for the second straight year, and right fielder Carlos Gonzalez has earned his third career trip and first since 2013.

The Mets’ return to prominence has brought many spoils, not least of all this: for the first time in three years, the Mets will have multiple players representing them at the All-Star Game, including at least one starter. Yoenis Cespedes, Noah Syndergaard and Jeurys Familia will all travel to San Diego next week as part of the National League All-Star team.

For the second straight season and for the third time in franchise history the Royals will have multiple starters for the 2016 All-Star Game presented by Master Card as first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez each secured the most fan votes at their positions.

The uniform was waiting in Jose Reyes’ locker when he arrived at Citi Field on Tuesday: No. 7, same as always. Reyes planned to offer Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud a gift for giving it up; d’Arnaud — a longtime Peyton Manning fan — chose No. 18 as his immediate consolation prize.

The Royals placed closer Wade Davis on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain Tuesday, retroactive to Friday, and recalled right-hander Brooks Pounders from Triple-A Omaha.

Padres first baseman Wil Myers was justly rewarded for his monster performance during the first half of the season, as the 25-year-old slugger was named to his first All-Star team Tuesday night.

Balloting is underway through 4 p.m. ET on Friday in the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote, a 92-hour blitz in which unique campaign alliances will form, digital balloting records probably will fall, and you decide the 34th and final roster spots for the 87th Midsummer Classic next Tuesday at Petco Park in San Diego.
