The All-Stars are beginning to be aligned.
On Tuesday, fans were treated to the first Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot updates for the National League for the 88th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard, set for Marlins Park in Miami on July 11. And on Wednesday, the opening American League voting totals were revealed.
In an unfortunate twist of timing, the leading vote-getter, Angels all-everything center fielder Mike Trout, just went on the disabled list with a torn left thumb ligament. Trout has opted for surgery and the time frame for his return is beyond All-Star Week.
