Major League Baseball has released yet another American League All-Star balloting update and the race for the final outfield spot is a tight one.

Melky Cabrera of the Blue Jays remains in third place behind Jose Bautista and Mike Trout, but A's slugger Yoenis Cespedes is gaining ground.

So it looks like Miguel Cabrera, Cano, Donaldson, Bautista, Trout and Cruz have their spots sewn up while it's likely AL manager John Farrell will have to name a replacement for the injured Wieters. Jeter's probably safe, too, but Melky Cabrera has company in Cespedes and Adam Jones.
