CHICAGO – As the deadline for the initial phase of All-Star Game voting approaches, there has been some slippage in support for the Rangers.
While three players – second baseman Marcus Semien, shortstop Corey Seager and third baseman Josh Jung – all remain solidly in the running to advance to the second round of voting, catcher Jonah Heim and outfielder Adolis García are currently on the outside looking in. They trail by thin margins, but nevertheless need to make up ground to advance.
The first round of balloting ends at 11 a.m. Thursday. During the initial voting period, fans can submit up to five ballots per 24-hour period on MLB platforms. On Thursday, the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders) will advance to the second phase of voting to determine who starts for each league.
