MILWAUKEE – With less than 72 hours left to vote in the first phase, Milwaukee Brewers players need a final voting push from fans to reach the finals of the 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com.

Catcher William Contreras and outfielder Christian Yelich remain in finalist positions, while third baseman Joey Ortiz is neck-and-neck with Manny Machado of the Padres to make the finals.

The top two players at each infield position and catcher, the top two designated hitters and the top six outfielders in each league will advance to the finals at the end of the first phase of voting. The top vote-getter in each league will automatically earn a starting spot.

Fans can continue to submit up to five ballots per day through 11 a.m. CT on Thursday, June 27 at MLB.com/vote, brewers.com/Allstar or on the MLB app. Finalists will be announced Thursday at 5 p.m. CT on MLB Network.

Yelich sits in second place among National League outfielders with 1,506,639 votes, behind only Jurickson Profar (1,646,276) of the Padres.
