Will Ozzie Albies finally get a chance to bat from the right side of the plate in an All-Star Game this year? 📺 MLB Net Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Ozzie Albies is at the center of an All-Star Game discussion built around whether the switch-hitter would step in from the right side of the plate. The Atlanta second baseman remains part of the National League voting picture as the ballot moves into its final phase.

Why it matters: An All-Star selection would cap a stretch in which the Braves have leaned hard into rallying fans behind their middle infielder, the same push to vote Albies in as the NL starting second baseman. With NL totals reset for the final round, every day of voting carries added weight for borderline candidates.

What to watch: Watch whether Albies lands a spot when National League reserves and starters are revealed, with fan voting in its closing window this week.
