As the first round of fan balloting was released on Monday, several Red Sox players were in the mix. Star slugger J.D. Martinez is the current leader at designated hitter with 491,955 votes.

Martinez, who returned to the lineup Monday after missing the previous four games with back woes, is having a solid season. He is hitting .296 with 12 homers and an .889 OPS.

A Boston player who is clearly rising to All-Star level this season is third baseman Rafael Devers, who currently ranks fourth at his position (202,569 votes). The sweet-swinging, left-handed hitter is hitting .301 with nine homers and 40 RBIs. Of late, his defense at third base has been greatly improved.

Though last year’s AL MVP Mookie Betts is off to a modest start, he remains one of the finest all-around players in the game. Betts is fifth among outfielders (450,407 votes).

Shortstop Xander Bogaerts (220,317 votes) continues to be one of Boston’s most consistent players, and he is fifth at shortstop.

Rookie Michael Chavis (156,208 votes), who gave the Red Sox a big production lift after his callup from the Minor Leagues, is fifth in voting at second base.

One of the most-improved players on the Red Sox this season is Christian Vazquez (183,291 votes), and he ranks fifth in balloting among catchers.

Fans may vote in "The Primary" at MLB.com and all 30 club sites, the MLB At Bat and MLB Ballpark apps up to five times in any 24-hour period. Fans in the US and Canada can also vote on Google Search for every position, or up to 17 unique players per day, by searching "MLB Vote" or the names of their favorite players. Primary voting ends at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, June 21.

The top three vote-getters at each position (including nine outfielders) per league will move on to "The Starters Election," which begins at noon ET on Wednesday, June 26.
