The All-Stars are beginning to be aligned.

On Tuesday, fans were treated to the first Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot updates for the National League for the 88th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard, set for Marlins Park in Miami on July 11. And on Wednesday, the opening American League voting totals were revealed.

• VOTE NOW for #ASGWorthy players

In an unfortunate twist of timing, the leading vote-getter, Angels all-everything center fielder Michael Trout , just went on the disabled list with a torn left thumb ligament. Trout has opted for surgery and the time frame for his return is beyond All-Star Week.

• National League ballot update

But there are still plenty of AL luminaries aiming to represent their league in Miami, and the tabulation has begun. Here are the AL results:

CATCHER



Salvador Perez , Royals: 420,268 votes

Welington Castillo , Orioles: 339,902

Brian McCann , Astros: 296,187

Gary Sanchez , Yankees: 267,683

Yan Gomes , Indians: 240,688

Perez is the league's standard for defense behind the plate and he's also been the best hitter at his position in the league, with 11 home runs, 29 RBIs and an .787 OPS entering Wednesday's games. Castillo has a .317/.339/.467 slash line, and McCann is enjoying his new home in Houston with six homers and a .360 on-base percentage.

Last year's rookie sensation, the Yankees' Sanchez, missed a month due to a strained right biceps but has four homers in 95 at-bats and is getting hot with the weather. Gomes has four homers and is a solid presence behind the plate for Cleveland.

FIRST BASE

Jose Cabrera , Tigers: 326,952

Yonder Alonso , A's: 287,975

Carlos Santana , Indians: 270,816

Eric Hosmer , Royals: 225,989

Yuli Gurriel, Astros: 182,945

A .780 OPS with five homers and 22 RBIs isn't very Cabrera-like, but reputation goes a long way toward All-Star Game selection, and fans are clearly expecting Miggy to be Miggy again very soon. Alonso, meanwhile, is one of the true breakout stars of early 2017, with a 1.052 OPS, 14 homers and 31 RBIs.

Santana ranks tied for fifth among AL first basemen with 30 RBIs, Hosmer has posted a .299/.357/.438 slash line, and Gurriel has contributed to a formidable Astros attack with four homers in his first full Major League season.

SECOND BASE

Starlin Castro , Yankees: 516,268

Jose Altuve , Astros: 515,732

Jason Kipnis , Indians: 253,409

Robinson Cano , Mariners: 159,557

Jonathan Schoop , Orioles: 149,060

Yankees fans are turning up at the online polls in droves for Castro, who is hitting .322/.358/.477 with seven homers and 28 RBIs, building on a terrific 2016. Altuve is Altuve, with a .320/.383/.510 line, and Kipnis has come back from injury well, with six homers and 20 RBIs.

Cano is leading all AL second basemen with 10 homers and 34 RBIs and has an OPS of .877, while Schoop is as solid as ever with an OPS of .801 plus seven homers and 24 RBIs.

THIRD BASE

Manny Machado, Orioles: 369,069

Miguel Sano , Twins: 363,607

Jose Ramirez , Indians: 351,814

Josh Donaldson, Blue Jays: 221,350

Chase Headley , Yankees: 174,702

Machado hasn't gotten hot yet, but he does have 10 homers with 25 RBIs and the dynamic skillset that has voters believing he'll steam into July on a torrid streak. Sano, meanwhile, is becoming a star, with 12 homers, a .996 OPS and 39 RBIs, the most in the AL among those who play the hot corner.

Ramirez has an OPS of .860, Donaldson is a former AL Most Valuable Player Award winner who is just getting back on the field after missing more than a month with a lingering right calf strain, and Headley is getting lots of votes from Yankees fans who appreciate his presence in the lineup and at third base for a first-place club.

SHORTSTOP

Francisco Lindor , Indians: 602,238

Carlos Correa , Astros: 253,518

Xander Bogaerts , Red Sox: 252,379

Didi Gregorius, Yankees: 239,170

Jean Segura , Mariners: 169,487

Lindor finished second to his countryman Correa in AL Rookie of the Year Award voting two seasons ago, but he's well ahead of his fellow Puerto Rican star in this vote. Lindor leads AL shortstops with 11 homers and has a .276/.347/.531 slash line. Correa has rebounded from a slow start and is among the AL leaders at shortstop in batting average (.309) and leads in OPS (.895).

Bogaerts is batting .339 for the Red Sox, and Segura's batting average of .345 is tops in the AL among shortstops.

DESIGNATED HITTER

Nelson Cruz , Mariners: 457,050

Edwin Encarnacion , Indians: 282,837

Matthew Holliday , Yankees: 276,855

Corey Dickerson, Rays: 216,350

Jose Pujols , Angels: 154,626

Cruz just keeps getting it done, with a .279/.364/.525 line, 12 homers and a position-best 42 RBIs, which has him comfortably ahead, at least for now, of second-place Encarnacion, who hasn't quite gotten it going as compared to years past.

Holliday is doing just fine for the Yankees, with 11 homers and 32 RBIs, and Dickerson has been brilliant for Tampa Bay, with a 1.006 OPS, 12 homers and 25 RBIs. Pujols sits one career homer from the magical 600 mark.

OUTFIELD

Mike Trout, Angels: 776,937

Aaron Judge , Yankees: 730,438

Mookie Betts , Red Sox: 337,473

Michael Brantley , Indians: 333,703

Andrew Benintendi , Red Sox: 327,047

Avisail Garcia , White Sox: 303,603

Adam Jones , Orioles: 236,481

Lonnie Chisenhall , Indians: 229,856

Abraham Almonte , Indians: 202,999

Jose Bautista , Blue Jays: 195,199

Brett Gardner , Yankees: 192,288

Jacoby Ellsbury , Yankees: 179,600

Carlos Beltran , Astros: 175,700

George Springer , Astros: 162,087

Kevin Pillar , Blue Jays: 160,484

It's amazing to consider that prior to his injury, Trout was having the best year of his career, with a 1.203 OPS, 16 homers and 36 RBIs plus 10 stolen bases. Judge has been a phenom in the Bronx, with 17 homers, many of which have been tape-measure moonshots, but also a 1.112 OPS. And Betts has been his stellar self, with nine homers, 32 RBIs and an .849 OPS.

Brantley has rebounded from the injuries that derailed his 2016 season and is batting .307 while driving in 22 runs. And Benintendi, who's among the top candidates for the AL Rookie of the Year Award, has 27 RBIs and seven stolen bases while batting .272.
