LOS ANGELES -- Five Dodgers rank in the top five of their positions in the final voting update for the 2018 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, led again by revitalized outfielder Matt Kemp.

The next highest-ranked Dodger is Cody Bellinger, who held strong at fourth at first base, where Atlanta's Freddie Freeman -- the top NL vote-getter -- is a runaway leader. Bellinger was an All-Star last year as a rookie.
Fellow Dodgers infielders Justin Turner, Chris Taylor and Logan Forsythe rank fifth at their respective positions of third base, shortstop and second base. Turner, who missed the first six weeks of this season with a broken wrist, earned his first All-Star selection last year as the NL Final Vote winner. Taylor moved ahead of Washington's Trea Turner into the top five.
And Yasiel Puig remained at the No. 15 spot for outfielders. Puig was an All-Star in 2014.
