The MLB All-Star Game is next week in Philadelphia — a week after America celebrated its 250th birthday.
Now that the fireworks from the Fourth of July have ceased, battered from across across the MLB are getting ready to light up Citizens Bank Park with the 2026 Home Run Derby approaching.
With the All-Star game at The Bank for the first time, fans will finally get to see some majestic homers in one of baseball's most notoriously home-run parks.
The question isn't just how far the balls will fly, but which players will be participating.
Will Phillies stars Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber participate? Here's what we know so far:
T-Mobile Home Run Derby will be July 13 at Citizens Bank Park.
For the first time, the derby will be streamed live on Netflix.
As of July 7, only one player has committed to participating in the derby.
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero, who is fourth in the MLB with 26 homers, said last week he would participate for a second time. The 22-year-old slugger finished as a runner-up last year.
As of now, neither player has committed to taking part in the derby at their home stadium.
Harper said he would consider participating if he was able to find someone to throw to him. The two-time MVP last participated in 2018 when he won the derby as a member of the Nationals in Washington.
Schwarber recently said he would take part only if he wasn't having issues with his back, which has caused him to miss a handful of recent games.
The designated hitter currently leads the big leagues with 30 homers, while Harper is 11th with 20 longballs.
Last year's competition at Truist Park in Atlanta was won by Seattle Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh, who became the first catcher to win after hitting a total of 54 home runs. Raleigh went on to hit 60 homers during the 2025 season, setting the single-season record for a backstop.
