In conjunction with Major League Baseball’s launch of the 2026 MLB All-Star Ballot, the St. Louis Cardinals are encouraging fans to vote for the nine Cardinals players listed on the ballot to help send them to the 2026 All-Star Game scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Fans can visit cardinals.com/allstar, the MLB app or the MLB Ballpark app starting today to cast their ballots for the following Cardinals players at their respective positions:
C – Pedro Pagés
1B – Alec Burleson
2B – J.J. Wetherholt*

OF – Victor Scott II
OF – Jordan Walker
DH – Iván Herrera *First Appearance on an All-Star Ballot
The 2026 MLB All-Star Ballot once again features two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters. During the initial voting period from June 3-25, fans can submit up to five ballots per 24-hour period on MLB platforms. On Thursday, June 25, the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders) in each league will be revealed on MLB Network at 5:00 PM CT, and they will advance to the second phase of voting to determine who makes the All-Star teams and starts for each league. In addition, the leading vote-getter in each league during the first phase of voting will receive an automatic starting assignment at the All-Star Game and bypass the second phase of voting. If an outfielder is a league’s leading vote-getter, Phase Two voting at the position will still take place to determine the remaining two starters among the next four outfield finalists.
Phase Two will begin at 11:00 AM CT on Monday, June 29, with fans voting among the finalists at each position during a four-day window that concludes at 11:00 AM CT on Thursday, July 2. During this second phase of voting, in which fans can vote once per day on MLB platforms, vote totals will reset (i.e., vote totals from Phase One do not carry over) and the winner at each position (including three outfielders per league) will be named a starting position player for the 2026 Midsummer Classic.
The NL All-Star Team, which will be managed by Dave Roberts of the defending World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, and the AL All-Star Team, led by John Schenider of the defending AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays, will each have nine elected starters via the fan balloting program. The pitchers and reserves for both squads – totaling 23 for each side – will be determined through a combination of “Player Ballot” choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office. The full 2026 All-Star rosters, including the announcement of starters and reserves, will be revealed on Saturday, July 4, at 6:30 PM CT on FOX ahead of FOX’s Baseball Night in America coverage of the Cardinals visiting the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
