With the fan vote ending at 8:59 p.m. Thursday, Corey Seager remains approximately 700,000 votes removed from the starting shortstop spot for the National League All-Star team.

Seager has picked up 300,000 votes in the past six days, but needs a lot more to get himself over the Addison Russell hump.

Chase Utley made his first appearance in the top five, though he is nearly 2 million votes behind Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist. Adrian Gonzalez rests a distant fourth place at first base.

The All-Star participants will be revealed July 5, save for the players reaching via the Final Vote competition.
