LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp is having a career renaissance, and All-Star voters have noticed, based on early balloting.
• VOTE: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot
Kemp has received the third-most votes among NL outfielders in fan balloting for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard. The first NL balloting update was announced Monday on MLB Network.

Kemp ranks behind Washington's Bryce Harper and Atlanta's Nick Markakis at his position, making him the highest-ranking Dodger in the first release of fan balloting. Kemp is a two-time All-Star, but his last appearance was in 2012. He is among NL batting leaders with a .338 average, and he's hit 10 homers to go along with 41 RBIs.
The only other Dodgers among top vote-getters at their position are Cody Bellinger, who is fourth among first basemen, and Justin Turner, who is fifth among third basemen. Both were All-Stars in 2017, Bellinger as a rookie and Turner via the Final Vote.
Probably the most overlooked Dodger in the first release of balloting is Yasmani Grandal, who is not among the top five NL catchers in votes, despite slugging 11 home runs with an .804 OPS. Grandal was an All-Star in 2015 in his first season with Los Angeles.
