What happened: The Houston Astros posted an All-Star voting promo with Budweiser, using the line "All-Star behavior" to point fans toward the 2026 ballot. The post adds to Houston's ongoing fan-vote messaging after MLB All-Star voting opened this week.
Why it matters: The push is about keeping Astros candidates visible before the first voting checkpoint. It also continues the club's broader All-Star campaign, following its earlier fan-vote drive.
By the numbers: MLB's 2026 Phase 1 All-Star voting runs through Thursday, June 25, at 12 p.m. ET. Fans can vote up to five times per day during Phase 1.
What to watch: Watch for MLB's first public voting updates and whether Houston narrows its campaign around specific candidates.
