Luis Arraez has played All-Star-worthy defense all season long. Vote @Arraez_21 five times every day. ⭐️ https://t.co/0

What happened: The Giants are urging fans to back Luis Arraez in 2026 MLB All-Star balloting, pointing to what the club calls All-Star-worthy defense all season long. The post asks supporters to cast the daily maximum of five votes for the second baseman.

Why it matters: A starting nod would cap a strong campaign for one of the league's most consistent contact hitters and reward his glovework at second. The push extends an earlier effort to send Arraez to the 2026 All-Star Game, where he faces a crowded National League field at the position.

By the numbers: In a recent doubleheader, Arraez posted two multi-hit games, reached base six times, collected two extra-base hits, scored four runs and drove in four.

What to watch: Watch whether the late surge of fan voting lifts Arraez into the NL starting lineup before the balloting window closes.
