MINNEAPOLIS -- Eddie Rosario is aiming for his first career All-Star Game appearance, and the Twins' left fielder was ranked 14th among American League outfielders in the first AL All-Star ballot update released Tuesday.
• VOTE: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot
Rosario is in the midst of a breakout season, entering Tuesday hitting .313/.352/.557 with 14 homers, 16 doubles and 43 RBIs in 62 games. He's received 92,271 votes, but he has a long way to catch the top three of the Red Sox's Mookie Betts (748,872), the Angels' Michael Trout (639,822) and the Yankees' Aaron Judge (541,983).
Shortstop Eduardo Escobar is also making a strong push to be an All-Star, but he didn't rank among the top five shortstops. Escobar is batting .288/.340/.568 with 12 homers, a Major League-leading 26 doubles and 39 RBIs in 59 games.
