The 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star voting updates were released on Monday and the Los Angeles Dodgers have several players in great position to travel to Coors Field in Colorado after the first phase of voting.
First baseman Max Muncy is currently on the injured list, but that hasn't stopped him from being the leading vote getter at first base for the National League. Muncy is batting .264 with 14 home runs and 33 RBI this season. Unfortunately, he is the only Dodgers' player that finds himself in first place.
Justin Turner, Gavin Lux, and Corey Seager are all in third place at their respective positions, and Mookie Betts is now in fourth place among NL outfielders. Dodgers' catcher Will Smth also finds himself in fourth place among NL catchers, and utility player Chris Taylor has risen to fifth place among NL outfielders.
All-star voting is using a different format in 2021. This year there are different phases. The top three players at each position, plus nine outfielders, will advance to the second phase of voting. Phase one ends on Thursday, June 24th.
