What happened: The Phillies are urging fans to vote Brandon Marsh into the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, sharing the official ballot link in a public appeal. Marsh has surged into second place among National League outfielders in the latest voting returns.

Why it matters: A strong finish would give Marsh his first All-Star selection and reward a breakout stretch for the Phillies outfielder. Second among NL outfielders puts him within striking distance of an automatic starting nod, making the final push meaningful for both the player and the club's representation.

What to watch: Watch whether Marsh holds or climbs in the next batch of returns before Phase 1 closes Thursday, which determines who advances to the finalist round.
