There are no A's featured on the latest American League All-Star balloting update.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. has joined the American League leaders in fan balloting for the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game 

Bradley, who is vying for his first career All-Star selection, has received 937,571 votes to move ahead of Baltimore’s Mark Trumbo in joining Mike Trout of the Angels (1,344,578) and Lorenzo Cain of the Royals (944,362) among the AL outfield leaders.  

Bradley is joined among the AL leaders by two teammates – shortstop Xander Bogaerts (1,040,465) and designated hitter David Ortiz (1,460,339). The trio is aiming to give Boston its most fan elections since the team had four fan-elected starters for the 2008 Midsummer Classic.

The remaining AL leaders include: catcher and overall AL leader Salvador Perez of the Royals (1,605,922); first baseman Eric Hosmer of the Royals (1,272,557); second baseman Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros (893,332); and third baseman Manny Machado of the Baltimore Orioles (898,715).

The next AL update will be released on Tuesday, June 14.
