What happened: The Yankees are publicly campaigning to send Ben Rice to the All-Star Game, calling on fans to cast their ballots in the league's voting drive. The team framed it as a collective effort, urging supporters to do their part down the stretch of the voting window.

Why it matters: An All-Star nod would mark a milestone for a young bat the club has been pushing hard in the fan vote, building on its earlier drive to rally fans behind Ben Rice. Roster spots decided by fan balloting reward both performance and reach, and a deep, motivated fan base can be the difference in a tight race.

What to watch: Watch whether the late push is enough to land Rice on the All-Star roster once the voting results are announced.
