It included the top 10 vote-getters at each position. Two White Sox position players made the top 10 at their respective positions: designated hitter Mike Tauchman and second baseman Lenyn Sosa.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_9gx2mhzno\"><em>(For more details on the voting process and how to cast your vote, <\/em>CLICK HERE<em>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_m04rsg46p\">Pitchers are not yet included in the voting process, but rookie right-hander Shane Smith has made a strong case for an All-Star appearance after posting a 2.37 ERA through his first 13 starts.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uolsi4lqx\">Tauchman has received the third-most votes (177,483) among American League designated hitters, behind Ryan O&#8217;Hearn (353,029) of the Baltimore Orioles and Ben Rice (232,331) of the New York Yankees. While O&#8217;Hearn has a significant lead, it&#8217;s a close race otherwise, with Yordan Alvarez, Anthony Santander, Colt Keith, and Brent Rooker all within 10,000 votes of Tauchman in third.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_e6kjoel2c\">After missing most of April and May, Tauchman has been one of the White Sox most productive hitters since returning from a hamstring injury. Through 25 games and 105 plate appearances, he has four home runs, six doubles, one triple, 13 RBIs, 16 walks, 21 strikeouts and a slash line of .273\/.381\/.500. He still has an uphill battle to make the All-Star game, but he may have the best shot among White Sox hitters.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_4uiceoo30\">Sosa has received the 10th most votes among second basemen at 83,240. It&#8217;ll be tough to break into the top three of Gleyber Torres, Jackson Holliday and Jose Altuve, who each have nearly 200,000 more votes than any other second baseman.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_4vmcdypul\">Sosa is currently on the injured list with a right hip flexor strain, though he could be nearing a return after beginning a rehab assignment in Triple-A on Friday. Prior to his injury, Sosa slashed .274\/.291\/.383 with four home runs, 17 RBIs, 10 doubles, 15 runs, one stolen base, five walks and 48 strikeouts across his first 207 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_36ac9vlko\">Here&#8217;s a look at American League All-Star voting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_bm421pgy5\">\n<div>\n<figure data-id=\"_bm421pgy5\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><canvas><\/canvas><picture><source \/><source \/><source \/><img title=\"2025 MLB All-Star voting\" alt=\"2025 MLB All-Star Voting: Two Chicago White Sox Among Top 10 At Position\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<p>MLB released the first update of 2025 All-Star voting on Monday.
