His slugging percentage (.522) and on-base percentage (.388) are both very close to what they were in his All-Star season last year, when he finished fifth in American League Most Valuable Player Award voting. No Astros player has ever started an All-Star Game at third base.\n\n[Gio Urshela](/#/wcm/custom/player/1927d875-54ac-4f8d-8d72-fb9433fa61bc) **(NYY): never named to an All-Star team**\n\nUrshela has gotten the chance to play more frequently with the Yankees’ early-season injury situation. He’s embraced it, and he’s having the best year of his career. Urshela is on pace for career highs in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. He’s come up clutch for the Yanks on numerous occasions, and he has helped them remain among the top teams in the AL East.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"The 2019 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard will be played on Tuesday, July 9, at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

KANSAS CITY -- Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier continues to make his case to fans voting for the All-Star Game.
Dozier, one of three American League All-Star balloting finalists at third base, had a big two-run tying single on Saturday. On Sunday, Dozier whacked a three-run home run, his 12th, and a double, in a 6-1 win over the Twins at Kauffman Stadium.
Dozier hit a slider off Minnesota starter Michael Pineda into the left-field bullpen in Kansas City's five-run third inning.
“He hung it,” Dozier said. “I wasn’t really looking for it, but it was a good pitch to hit.”
Dozier came off the injured list on Friday, and he struggled for a game or so getting his timing back.
“I felt better today,” he said. “Hopefully, I’ll keep feeling better with my timing and get back to where I was. Today was good.”
Across his first two seasons in the Majors, Bregman established himself as a consistent performer on a strong offensive team. His slugging percentage (.522) and on-base percentage (.388) are both very close to what they were in his All-Star season last year, when he finished fifth in American League Most Valuable Player Award voting. No Astros player has ever started an All-Star Game at third base.
Urshela has gotten the chance to play more frequently with the Yankees’ early-season injury situation. He’s embraced it, and he’s having the best year of his career. Urshela is on pace for career highs in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. He’s come up clutch for the Yanks on numerous occasions, and he has helped them remain among the top teams in the AL East.
The 2019 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard will be played on Tuesday, July 9, at Progressive Field in Cleveland. It will be televised nationally by FOX Sports; in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS; and worldwide by partners in more than 180 countries.
