Six Yankees will have a chance to crack the American League's starting lineup for the upcoming All-Star Game at Cleveland's Progressive Field, including finalists appearing at every infield position.
Catcher Gary Sanchez, first baseman Luke Voit, second baseman DJ LeMahieu, shortstop Gleyber Torres, third baseman Gio Urshela and outfielder Aaron Judge are among those vying to collect votes to punch their tickets for the Midsummer Classic.
The "Starters Election" features the top three vote-getters at each position (and the top nine outfielders) in each league based on vote totals from "The Primary," which ran from May 28 through 4 p.m. ET on Friday.
Sanchez (2,266,469) notched more votes than any other Yankee, and will compete against fellow AL backstops James McCann of the White Sox (1,085,254) and Robinson Chirinos of the Astros (946,823) in the next phase of voting.
At first base, Voit (1,205,706) paced the AL field as he looks for his first All-Star nod, ahead of the Indians' Carlos Santana (1,180,719) and the Twins' C.J. Cron (1,045,120). LeMahieu (1,312,490) ranked third among AL second basemen, behind Tommy La Stella of the Angels (1,713,094) and Jose Altuve of the Astros (1,629,148).
Urshela (857,474) was second among AL third basemen, behind the Astros' Alex Bregman (2,341,355) and ahead of the Royals' Hunter Dozier (746,742). At shortstop, Torres (976,163) ranked third behind the Twins' Jorge Polanco (1,450,913) and the Astros' Carlos Correa (1,115,469).
Despite not having played since April 20 due to injury, Judge (995,903) ranked seventh among the AL's outfielders. Mike Trout of the Angels (3,370,499) was the leading vote-getter there.
