The New York Yankees might have a surprise participant in the All-Star event after some unfortunate injury news.

Tampa Bays Rays young slugger Junior Caminero is the latest to confirm his participation in the upcoming 2025 Home Run Derby. MLB announced the news on Wednesday, which means just two spots remain in the eight-player Derby field.

Ronald Acuña Jr. returned to the Braves lineup on Wednesday night and halted concerns about the possibility he would not be available to compete in the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game, which will be held within his home ballpark next week.

Francisco Lindor Makes Juan Soto Request After Ronald Acuña News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Unsurprisingly, the star-studded New York Mets are sending three players to the 2025 All-Star Game. Shortstop Francisco Lindor, first baseman Pete Alonso, and closer Edwin Diaz all got the nod as they continue their momentum.

The Braves haven't been shy about being cautious with Acuña. He's been pulled from a couple of games just to preserve his health. He left the 10-1 loss to the Rockies early simply because it was a blowout. He was removed from the 13-0 loss to the Phillies due to the weather, plus the game got out of hand early on.
