What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers urged fans to back their players for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia, posting a #VoteDodgers appeal on social media. The campaign asks supporters to vote up to five times daily through June 25. A related fan-driven post pushed votes for infielder Hyeseong Kim.
Why it matters: All-Star selections carry roster prestige and reward a strong first half, and fan voting determines the starting lineup. A heavy turnout from the Dodgers' large fan base can swing several spots toward Los Angeles players ahead of the Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia.
By the numbers: The Dodgers entered the stretch in strong form, having won 14 of their last 17 games, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto striking out 10 in a recent outing.
What to watch: Fan voting runs through June 25, with starters revealed shortly after the window closes ahead of the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
