Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia will be participating in the Home Run Derby as part of the All Star festivities, it was announced today. The All Star Game will be played at Globe Life Field on July 16, 2024, with the Home Run Derby taking place at 7 p.m. Central on July 15. The Home Run Derby will be televised on ESPN.
Garcia is not having one of his best seasons in 2024, but his playoff heroics in 2023, along with the fact that the event will be taking place in Arlington and he provides a home player for the fans to cheer for, probably helped him solidify a spot.
