Yankees' Aaron Judge invited to participate in Home Run Derby

NEW YORK -- Yankees rookie sensation Aaron Judge says he has been invited to participate in next month's Home Run Derby.

The 25-year-old Judge, who leads the major leagues with 23 home runs, said he received the invitation last week through his agent.

Asked Tuesday whether he will accept, Judge says: "I haven't really thought about it yet."

The derby will be held at Marlins Park in Miami on July 10. The Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton is the defending champion.
