Francisco Lindor remains first in All-Star voting; Danny Salazar placed on disabled list

The Indians continue to be well-represented in fan voting for the 2017 All-Star Game.

Francisco Lindor has maintained his comfortable lead among American League shortstops, leading his position with 842,166 votes. Lindor is fourth in total votes in the American League, trailing New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout and Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve.

Jose Ramirez and Michael Brantley each moved up a spot in their respective positions from last week. Ramirez is now second among third basemen with 541,040 votes, passing Baltimore Orioles star Manny Machado. The Minnesota Twins' Miguel Sano has taken over the No. 1 spot with 639,952 votes.

Brantley is now third among outfielders, which would give him a starting spot on the All-Star team. He's now up to 554,620 votes, which might put him in second place with Trout questionable for the All-Star Game after undergoing thumb surgery.

First baseman Carlos Santana (third, 420,336 votes), second baseman Jason Kipnis (third, 402,228 votes) and catcher Yan Gomes (fifth, 381,178 votes) all held their ranks in their respective positions.

Edwin Encarnacion, meanwhile, dropped to third among designated hitters with 447,275 votes. Outfielders Lonnie Chisenhall (10th, 348,816 votes) and Abraham Almonte (13th 302,402 votes) also dropped.
