Mateo and Senzel will play next to each other on the left side of the North Division infield after both were named to starting spots. Mateo, a shortstop who has also seen time at center field this season with the Yankees, is batting .250/.288/.420 with 22 extra-base hits and 18 steals in 50 games in his return to Class A Advanced.
Senzel, the second overall pick in last year's Draft and the top Reds prospect, has hit .298/.356/.455 with three homers, a triple, a league-best 20 doubles and eight steals in 50 games to begin his first full campaign.
Keller is just one of nine Marauders named to the South Division roster. The Pirates' No. 2 prospect has a 2.93 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 39 strikeouts in 40 innings this season but has been on the disabled list since May 26 with a back strain. Catcher
