Athletics slugger Brent Rooker became the latest entrant in the forthcoming Home Run Derby on Thursday. Just one spot remains vacant in the eight-player field. Rooker, 30, has hit .270/.346/.489 (130 OPS+) with 19 home runs in his first 94 games this season.

Acuña helped lead the Braves to a 9-2 win against the Athletics — just their third victory in 13 games — a day after an embarrassing 10-1 series-opening loss. The Braves hit a season-high five homers, with others from Drake Baldwin, Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna, who hit his first in 22 games, since June 13.

Ronald Acuña Jr. went yard twice against the Athletics on Wednesday, marking the 14th time that he has given the Atlanta Braves multiple home runs out of the leadoff spot in his career.

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 Acuna Jr. came as close to hitting a bus as any major league hitter ever has thanks to the A’s stadium location.
