MINNEAPOLIS -- With four days to go in the Primary round of voting, Jorge Polanco continues to pace the American League shortstop field in votes for the 2019 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, while C.J. Cron, Nelson Cruz and Eddie Rosario remain in position to qualify for the Starters Election in the latest update ahead of Friday's voting deadline.

With 818,082 votes, Polanco holds more than a 160,000-vote advantage over the Astros' Carlos Correa, with the 25-year-old Twins shortstop well on pace to move on to the next round of voting.

Polanco, who is tied for the AL lead in extra-base hits (36) and leads all Major League shortstops in batting average (.332), on-base percentage (.395) and slugging percentage (.557), could become the first Twins infielder to start a Midsummer Classic since Roy Smalley in 1979.

Cron maintained second place on the first-base ballot, but the Indians' Carlos Santana has closed the gap between second and third place to only 25,467 votes. Cruz is in the cutoff -- third place -- to qualify for the next round at designated hitter and still holds nearly a 144,000-vote lead over fourth place, Shohei Ohtani. Rosario, in sixth place among outfielders, remains in good position to move on, with the top nine outfielders advancing to the Starters Election.

Jason Castro has fallen out of the qualifying field for catchers after Astros backstop Robinson Chirinos overtook him for third place. With that said, Jonathan Schoop remains fourth among second basemen and Marwin Gonzalez has moved up to fifth place in third-base voting, nearly 134,000 votes behind the Royals' Hunter Dozier in third place. Max Kepler and Byron Buxton are still 10th and 11th, respectively, in outfield voting -- the first two spots out of qualifying.

Polanco, Cron, Rosario, Kepler, Buxton and Gonzalez have never been named to an All-Star team.
