What happened: The Philadelphia Phillies are urging supporters to cast ballots as final voting for the MLB All-Star Game starters opens. The team is campaigning to get its position players elected into the starting lineup.
Why it matters: All-Star starter selections are decided by fan vote, so a coordinated push from a large market club can meaningfully swing the results. Landing multiple starters would be a marquee showcase for a Philadelphia roster contending in the National League.
What to watch: Watch for the voting deadline and the reveal of the elected starters to see how many Phillies make the cut.
