1 hour ago 1

The Blue Jays' Ernie Clement has surged to the top of the American League in the second update of the 2026 MLB All-Star ballot, overtaking the Angels' Mike Trout, the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez, who led the AL in the first update.

Clement now has 2,054,130 votes, the second-highest total of any player in either league and a lead of nearly 80,000 over Alvarez in the AL. The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani remains the overall leader with 2,310,735 votes, the only player past 2 million and on pace to top all of baseball in All-Star balloting for the first time in his career.

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard is July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and will air live on FOX and be streamed on FOX One. Phase 1 voting closes Thursday, June 25 at noon ET. Fans can vote up to five times per 24-hour period at MLB.com, on all 30 club sites or on the MLB app. The top two vote-getters at each position and the top six outfielders advance to Phase 2, which opens June 29.
