Manny Ramirez still 5th in NL All-Star voting

NEW YORK — Suspended slugger Manny Ramirez remained fifth among NL outfielders in the latest fan voting for starting spots in the All-Star game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers star is serving a 50-game penalty for violating baseball’s drug policy. He is eligible to return July 3, and the All-Star game is 11 days later in St. Louis.

Philadelphia’s Raul Ibanez leads NL outfielders with 1,415,493 votes, followed by Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun (1,269,033), the Mets’ Carlos Beltran (1,092,516) and the Cubs’ Alfonso Soriano (1,078,904). Ramirez is fifth with 838,353 in results released Monday.

Ramirez hit .348 with six home runs and 20 RBIs in 27 games before he was suspended May 7.
