MLB All-Star Game 2018 voting: Will Yankees’ Aaron Judge have any teammates in starting lineup?

The 2018 MLB All-Star Game will be played on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 (7/17/18) at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge, DH Giancarlo Stanton, shortstop Didi Gregorius, catcher Gary Sanchez, rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres and rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar are vying for spots in the American League’s starting lineup.

The latest round of ballots have been counted for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game, and right now, the only Yankees position player with the inside track on starting for the American League is Aaron Judge.

Catcher Gary Sanchez is in the running at catcher (although his availability would be very much in doubt after landing on the disabled list with a strained groin). DH Giancarlo Stanton, shortstop Didi Gregorius, rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres and rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar have impressive vote totals, but not enough to crack the lineup, as of right now.

But Luis Severino should be on the American League pitching staff, and might be in line to start the game.

Here are the latest vote totals, per MLB:
