ARLINGTON -- The Rangers continue to be shut out in the voting for a spot in the American League starting lineup for the 2017 MLB All-Star Game presented by MasterCard.
The Rangers again do not have a catcher or an infielder in the top five or an outfielder in the top 15, as revealed in the latest results of the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot on Tuesday.
The Rangers are looking at the possibility of one of their position players not going to the All-Star Game for the first time since 1988, when they were represented by pitcher Jeff Russell. The most obvious candidates worthy of at least consideration are shortstop Elvis Andrus and outfielder Nomar Mazara.
