A former Savannah Banana is headed to the MLB All-Star Game, learning the news roughly 12 hours after hitting for the cycle in the majors.

Chicago White Sox rookie outfielder Tristan Peters was named to the American League All-Star team to replace Nick Kurtz, who recently landed on the injured list.

Peters recorded the White Sox’s first cycle in nine years, finishing it off with a triple down the right-field line in his final at-bat.

He doubled in the third inning and hit an RBI single in the fifth before collecting two more hits in the seventh — a two-run homer to center field and an RBI triple. Peters became the seventh player in White Sox history to hit for the cycle and the first since José Abreu in 2017.

His path to the majors has been anything but conventional. Peters spent time with the Savannah Bananas five years ago after playing at Southern Illinois University. During his stint with the Bananas, he was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh round of the MLB Draft.

Peters was traded three times before reaching Chicago. The Brewers dealt him to the San Francisco Giants at the 2022 trade deadline, and the Giants sent him to the Tampa Bay Rays three months later. After spending three seasons in the Rays’ farm system and making his MLB debut with Tampa Bay, Peters was traded to the White Sox this past offseason.

Peters made the White Sox’s Opening Day roster entering what many expected to be another difficult season for the South Siders after the club lost a combined 324 games from 2023 through 2025. Instead, Chicago is tied for first place in the American League Central, and Peters has been a major reason why.

This season, Peters is hitting .303 with an .841 OPS and 20 doubles.
