MLB has released the first update on fan All-Star Game voting and the results are good for Rafael Devers. The third baseman leads all AL hot corner players with 727,669 votes - a small lead over the Cleveland Guardians’ José Ramírez at 711,367. While it’s too early to guarantee anything, Devers is well on his way to a second straight All-Star Game appearance.
Xander Bogaerts, a three-time All-Star, is possibly close to snagging a spot in the starting lineup himself. Trailing Bo Bichette of the Toronto Blue Jays (585,744) and Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox (528,278), Bogaerts (525,202) is just a bit on the outside.
