What happened: The first official National League All-Star ballot update for 2026 shows Andy Pages and Ronald Acuña Jr. leading all outfielders. Pages currently holds the top spot with 800,496 votes, while Acuña Jr. trails in second with 693,472.

Why it matters: The strong showing for Pages follows a breakout season where he has recorded 15 home runs and 56 RBIs through 72 games. Despite being on the injured list with a hamstring strain since June 10, Acuña Jr. remains a fan favorite, maintaining a significant lead for a starting role in the July festivities.

What to watch: Phase 1 voting concludes on June 25, with the top six outfielders advancing to Phase 2. The final starters will be announced in late June ahead of the midsummer classic.
