Last chance: Rosario needs help in Final Vote

July 10th, 2018

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins continued their push for left fielder to win the MLB Final Vote, including bringing Rebecca Kufrin from ABC's "The Bachelorette," to Target Field on Tuesday, but Rosario still needs some help, according to the latest ballot update.
VOTE Rosario: 2018 Camping World MLB Final Vote
Rosario is one of five players up for the final American League roster spot as part of the Camping World MLB Final Vote for the 2018 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard at Nationals Park, as announced Sunday on ESPN. On Wednesday, the 26-year-old outfielder ranked fourth in the AL field behind the Mariners' , the Red Sox's and the Yankees' . Voting ends at 3 p.m. CT.

Twins manager Paul Molitor appreciates the club's efforts to try to get Rosario elected, as they've created the "Accept This Rosie" campaign with his teammates wearing tuxedo-styled T-shirts during batting practice to show their support. Kufrin, a Minnesota native, threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Rosario, who has been handing out roses to fans as part of the promotion.

"I hope it works," Molitor said. "It's a natural connection with the roses and I guess a pretty big TV show. I think it's fun. We're going to do what we can. We know we're up against some tough odds, with bigger markets, and maybe bigger names as far as recognition. But we'll do our part."

Fans can cast votes for the final player on each league's roster -- on computers, tablets and smartphones -- exclusively online as part of the 2018 Camping World MLB Final Vote, as well as via the MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark mobile apps, until Wednesday at 3 p.m. CT.

Worth noting
• Twins reliever joined team athletic trainers Tony Leo, Masamachi Abe, Matt Biancuzzo, Taylor Hooten Foundation president Donald Hooton Jr. and Harry Schein Inc.'s John Miller for an event at Target Field on Tuesday morning as part of the National Play Campaign. It helped raise awareness about living a more healthy and active lifestyle.
• Right-hander started for Double-A Chattanooga on Tuesday night and he is scheduled to start for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday. The Twins will then evaluate whether Santana will be ready to return or if he'll need to remain on a rehab assignment to build arm strength. Santana has been out since early February after undergoing surgery on his right middle finger.
