Here's what to know about All-Star Game voting:
How does MLB All-Star voting work?
Phase 1 of the voting process runs through noon ET on Thursday, June 22. At the end of Phase 1, the top vote-getter from each league will be awarded a starting spot. To determine the rest of the starting lineups, the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders) from Phase 1 will advance to Phase 2. (If an outfielder is a league's top vote-getter, then only four outfielders will advance to Phase 2.)
