ST. PETERSBURG -- On the same Monday it was learned he would need to be placed on the 10-day disabled list for a right quadriceps strain, the Reds' Zack Cozart also received the good news that he remained the leader in votes among National League shortstops on the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot.
For the second week in a row, Cozart led Kyle Seager of the Dodgers. Cozart has 1,465,327 votes over Seager's 1,143,767 votes. Addison Russell of the Cubs is third with 967,495 votes; Trea Turner of the Nationals is fourth with 652,507 votes and Chris Owings of the D-backs was fifth with 541,960 votes.
If Cozart were to be elected by the fans, he would be the first player from the Reds to start in the All-Star Game, presented by MasterCard, since Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips in 2013.
