MLB All-Star Voting 2021: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr. Lead in 2nd Results

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. sit atop the MLB All-Star Game fan vote as Phase 1 nears its Thursday conclusion, the league announced.

The top three vote getters at each position—including the top nine outfielders—will advance to Phase 2 as fans get closer to picking the starting lineup for the Midsummer Classic at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado next month.

Guerrero has received 49 percent of all votes at first base in the American League with Houston Astros Yuli Gurriel (10 percent) and reigning MVP Jose Abreu (eight percent) filling out the top three.

In the NL, Acuna holds 15 percent of all outfield votes with Cincinnati Reds stars Nick Castellanos (11 percent) and Jesse Winker (nine percent) right behind him.

All votes will reset after Phase 1 concludes and players who advance to Phase 2 will have their tallies reset for Phase 2, which runs from Monday, June 28 to Thursday, July 1.

Monday's update by MLB did show a number of new players in a position to advance to Phase 2.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (four percent of the vote) lept over Tampa Bay Rays sensation Randy Arozarena and Houston Astros star Kyle Tucker to grab the ninth and final spot in the Phase 1 AL outfield vote.

Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout leads the position with 14 percent of the vote, but it remains to be seen whether or not he'll be healthy enough to play. The centerfielder has been on the injured list since May 18 with a right calf sprain that's expected to keep him off the field for six-eight weeks. 

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (11 percent) also finds himself in a battle with Chicago's Tim Anderson (10 percent) as the Houston veteran takes over the No. 3 position in the AL behind Boston's Xander Bogaerts and Toronto's Bo Bichette. 

It's nowhere near as close of a battle on the NL side, where San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. holds 36 percent of the vote with Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez tracking at 15 percent behind him. 

There's a runaway at designated hitter, too, where Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani has received 35 percent of the vote and Boston Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez is in second with 16 percent. Houston's Yordan Alvarez (11 percent) and Chicago's Yermin Mercedes (seven percent) are battling for the third and final spot there.
