Joc, A-Gon need help in All-Star voting

PHOENIX -- The 2015 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot fan voting ends Thursday night and the Dodgers are running out of time to earn a starting spot in the National League lineup.

• Cast your Esurance All-Star ballot for Pederson and other #ASGWorthy players

In the final weekly update issued Monday, no Dodgers candidate improved his position from last week.

Rookie outfielder Joc Pederson, who had climbed from 11th to eighth to sixth in the previous updates, remained in sixth, while Yasiel Puig dropped a notch for the second consecutive week, to 15th. A starting outfielder spot in the All-Star Game is likely to open because of the weekend injury to Miami's Giancarlo Stanton.

Adrian Gonzalez remained in the second spot among first basemen, but the gap between him and leader Paul Goldschmidt continued to widen.

Catcher Yasmani Grandal is the other Dodgers player among vote leaders, but he was fourth among catchers, the same as last week.
