The finalists for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game ballot were announced Friday, and the Dodgers are well-represented heading into Phase 2 of fan voting, per Dodger Blue staff. While Shohei Ohtani already locked up a starting spot as the NL’s leading vote-getter — a story we covered earlier — several of his teammates earned enough support to advance as finalists at their respective positions. Andy Pages and Max Muncy are among the Dodgers who’ll appear on the Phase 2 ballot.

Pages has quietly turned himself into one of the more productive young outfielders in the National League this season. The Cuban-born right fielder broke through as a full-time player last year and has taken another step forward in 2026, pairing solid power numbers with improved plate discipline. He’s always had the raw tools — the bat speed, the arm strength in right — but the consistency has been the unlock. Getting named an All-Star finalist is a big moment for a guy who was still fighting for playing time not that long ago. He’s earned every bit of this recognition.

Muncy’s inclusion is a nice story in itself. The veteran has been through the wringer over the past few years — injuries, down stretches, questions about whether his best days were behind him. But Muncy’s ability to grind at-bats, draw walks, and still deliver big swings when it matters has always been his calling card. If he’s been healthy and productive enough to land among the finalists, that says something about his first half. The guy just refuses to fade away, and our lineup is better for it.

The Dodgers sending multiple position players into the Phase 2 round is a reflection of how deep this roster has been offensively. This isn’t a one-man show — Ohtani is the headliner, sure, but the supporting cast has pulled its weight. Having Pages and Muncy on the final ballot alongside Ohtani gives fans a chance to push for even more Dodger representation at the Midsummer Classic.

Phase 2 voting will determine the remaining starters and reserves, so if you want to see more Dodger Blue in the starting lineup, now’s the time to make it happen. I’d love to see Pages get the nod — an All-Star appearance would be a well-deserved milestone for a player who’s been on the rise all season. Muncy making it would be the cherry on top of a quietly strong comeback year. Either way, the fact that this team has this many guys in the conversation says a lot about where we are at the halfway point.
