What happened: The Cleveland Guardians urged supporters to keep voting in MLB All-Star balloting, saying there is still "lots of work to do" to send the team's stars to the All-Star Game in Philadelphia. The club amplified its #VoteGuards drive across its social channels in a closing appeal to fans.

Why it matters: All-Star selections reward a strong first half and raise a player's national profile, and a coordinated fan-voting push can swing tight positional races in the final stretch of balloting. For Cleveland, landing multiple representatives would mark a milestone for a young, ascending roster.

What to watch: Watch the next release of All-Star vote totals to see whether Cleveland's late surge lifts any of its candidates up the leaderboard before balloting closes.
