What happened: The Washington Nationals launched a social media campaign encouraging fans to vote for their players in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game. The team humorously noted that while not everyone is meant to be an All-Star, fans are meant to vote for them up to five times a day.

Why it matters: As MLB All-Star balloting opens, clubs across the league are mobilizing their fan bases to secure starting roster spots. The Nationals are emphasizing consistent daily participation to maximize their players' chances in the initial phase of voting.

What to watch: Fans will continue casting their five daily ballots as Phase 1 of voting progresses toward the selection of finalists.
