What’s Next?
All-Star break — Yes, the All-Star break is upon us. So you know what that means. The 2019 Home Run Derby kicks off Monday, July 8 at 8 p.m. ET, but fan favorite Christian Yelich was forced to pull out due to a back injury. Then there’s the All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 9 at 7:30 p.m. Plenty of fun festivities are ahead before regular season play returns Thursday.
