SAN DIEGO -- Despite his hot start to the 2017 season, Padres first baseman William Myers was not among the top five National League All-Star vote-getters at first base.
Major League Baseball unveiled its inaugural Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot update on Tuesday afternoon without any Padres among the top five at their respective positions in the National League.
