With two days remaining, three Texas Rangers players are in the top two at their respective positions in the first phase of All-Star Game voting.

Voting continues through June 22. The top two vote-getters at each position — along with the top six vote-getters in the outfield — advance to the second round of voting to determine All-Star Game starters.

The Midsummer Classic is July 11 and the Seattle Mariners are hosting.

Marcus Semien remains the leading vote-getter among all American League second baseman with 1,414,056 votes.

The other two Rangers in position are third baseman Josh Jung, who is second with 879,096 votes, and shortstop Corey Seager, also second with 827,499.

Four other Rangers are within striking distance at their positions — catcher Jonah Heim (third, 643,471), designated hitter Robbie Grossman (third, 270,223), first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (fourth, 386,023) and outfielder Adolis García (seventh, 594,440).

Since García is an outfielder he needs to finish among the top six at his position.

Two other Rangers are receiving votes — outfielder Ezequiel Duran (10th, 434,822) and outfielder Leody Taveras (13th, 347,274).

The MLB All-Star Ballot, which is available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com/vote, all 30 Club websites, MLB App and MLB Ballpark App. The voting period for Phase 1 concludes at 11 a.m. central on June 22.

During the initial voting period, fans can submit up to five ballots per 24-hour period.

On June 22, the top two vote-getters at each infield position and the top six outfielders in each League will be revealed on MLB Network at 5 p.m. CT. They will advance to the second phase of voting to determine who makes the All-Star teams and starts for each League.

The leading vote-getter in each league during the first phase of voting will receive an automatic starting assignment at the All-Star Game and bypass the second phase of voting.
