What happened: The Cardinals urged fans to back Jordan Walker in MLB All-Star balloting, tying the campaign to the club's "Tarps Off" fan promotion and pointing supporters to the league ballot. The push frames "JWalk" as St. Louis's headline candidate for the vote.

Why it matters: An All-Star selection would be a milestone for Walker and give the Cardinals a marquee representative in the Midsummer Classic. Because fan voting helps decide starters, a coordinated late push like St. Louis's Jordan Walker All-Star bid can move a close race.

What to watch: Watch the next All-Star voting update to see whether Walker climbs into a finalist or starting spot.
