The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions.

All voting was conducted online, at MLB.com or via the MLB app. Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 3.
