DETROIT >> Now you know folks are noticing the Tigers.

In the first update of American League All-Star voting released Monday by Major League Baseball, multiple Tigers found themselves in position to start in the game, set for July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Leading the way for the Tigers in the first phase of fan voting is second baseman Gleyber Torres, who has lived up to the one-year, $15-million contract he signed before the season. A two-time All-Star (though never a starter) with the New York Yankees, Torres has a 1.6 WAR and a .797 OPS for the Tigers.

In Monday’s voting update, Torres was leading a close race at second base, with more than 535,000 votes, to about 450,000 for Baltimore’s Jackson Holliday and more than 446,000 for Houston’s Jose Altuve.

Torres is looking to become the first Tigers position player to start the All-Star Game since Miguel Cabrera in 2014, and the first Tigers second baseman to start the All-Star Game since Placido Polanco in 2007.

Also in the mix for a starting spot is Tigers outfielder Riley Greene, who is running second among AL outfielders, with the top three earning the starting spots. New York’s Aaron Judge is the far-and-away leading vote getter, with more than 1.5 million votes. Greene has more than 675,000, with Los Angeles’ Mike Trout third at more than 475,000.

Fifth in the voting for AL outfielders is Javier Báez, who is having a big comeback season, and has done much of it from center field, filling in at the position while Parker Meadows was recovering from an injury. Báez remains on the ballot for outfielders, though. Seventh among AL outfielders is Kerry Carpenter.

Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler is third among AL catchers, Spencer Torkelson is fourth among first basemen, and Zach McKinstry is fourth among third basemen.

Shortstop is the only position where the Tigers don’t have a top-five vote getter.

Fans can vote for the All-Star position players at MLB.com or at the ballpark. They don’t vote on pitchers; pitchers and reserves are voted on by a players’ ballot. Tigers ace Tarik Skubal didn’t get the nod in 2024, a year in which he went on to win the Cy Young Award, but would be considered a strong possibility to start in 2025, depending how his pitching schedule falls. The last Tigers pitcher to start an All-Star Game was Max Scherzer in 2013.

The Tigers have a chance to have three or more All-Stars for the first time since 2015. In the last 50 years, the Tigers’ record for All-Stars in one year is six, accomplished in 1984 and 2013.

The Tigers are an MLB-best 46-27 entering a three-game home series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, starting Tuesday.
