MLB released the ballot for the 2025 All-Star game on Wednesday, and nine Chicago White Sox position players made the cut.

The first phase of voting began Wednesday and ends at 12 p.m. ET on June 26. It casts a wide net, with 15 players in each league nominated at each infield position and designated hitter, as well as 45 outfielders. Pitchers are not yet on the ballot. Once a certain number of players advance at each position past the first phase, the second phase begins June 30 and ends July 2. During that time, starters are chosen.

The full 34-player roster, including pitchers, will be announced July 6. The All-Star game is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga.
