— -- Two Royals pitchers were added to the American League All-Star roster Monday, which brings Kansas City to an MLB-high six representatives, while New York Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez was left off the team for the Midsummer Classic.

Wade Davis and Kelvin Herrera were selected by player vote and manager Ned Yost, respectively. They will join four position player starters who were elected by fan vote and announced Sunday.

The All-Star reserves were chosen by a combination of player vote and manager selection.

Rodriguez is among the top three AL designated hitters in five offensive categories: batting average (.284), home runs (16), hits (77), on-base percentage (.390) and runs (45). He has a higher WAR than Nelson Cruz, who won the DH voting, but Rodriguez was not selected for his 15th All-Star appearance.

The Royals have a chance for a seventh All-Star, as Mike Moustakas was listed for the Final Vote. Fans will select among him, Xander Bogaerts, Yoenis Cespedes, Brian Dozier and Brett Gardner for the last AL roster spot.

Among the other AL All-Stars, Albert Pujols was tabbed for his 10th All-Star team. He will start in place of Miguel Cabrera, who was replaced on the roster by Mark Teixeira.

On the National League side, Andrew McCutchen will replace Giancarlo Stanton as an outfield starter, and Chicago Cubs rookie Kris Bryant was added to the NL roster by manager Bruce Bochy.

Another potential injury replacement is for outfielder Matt Holliday, who is currently on the disabled list with a quad injury. If he can't play in the game, Joc Pederson will replace him as the starter, and Bochy will select another bench reserve.

The St. Louis Cardinals lead the NL with five players on the All-Star roster. They could extend their lead with a sixth if Carlos Martinez is added to the team via the Final Vote, or they could be tied by the Los Angeles Dodgers if Clayton Kershaw is voted to the final roster spot. Johnny Cueto, Jeurys Familia and Troy Tulowitzki complete the NL's Final Vote ballot.

Voting for the last roster spot ends at 4 p.m. ET Friday.

The All-Star game will be in Cincinnati for the first time since 1988. Closer Aroldis Chapman will join third baseman Todd Frazier as the Reds' representatives on July 14.
