As MLB All-Star Weekend draws near, we’re getting a clearer picture of which players will feature. Yesterday, DJ LeMahieu and Gary Sanchez were announced as starters in the All-Star Game, and today, MLB announced the participants in the Futures Game.
It appears only one Yankees prospect will take part in the Futures Game: Deivi Garcia. This comes at a great time, as Garcia has generated a ton of buzz lately. His rise through the prospect ranks this season can currently be described as brisk, but by the end of the year, we may look back on Garcia’s season as a meteoric ascent.
