Bad news for some fans hoping to see Aaron Judge in the Home Run Derby — one of the most anticipated sluggers won't be taking part, but he has a pretty solid reason for sitting this one out.

Aaron Judge gives Jazz Chisholm Jr. advice for the Home Run Derby, plus talks about being captain of Team USA for the 2026 Classic and being a 2025 All-Star

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is managing the National League squad and going with his guy, National League home run leader Shohei Ohtani, to lead off, followed by hometown favorite Ronald Acuña Jr. Three of Roberts' Dodgers players were voted into the NL starting lineup, which is as follows:

Cody Bellinger hit three two-run homers against his former team, helping to lift the New York Yankees to an 11-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Aaron Judge robs Pete Crow-Armstrong of a home run and lays out for two diving catches to steal the show vs. the Cubs.

Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge are putting on a show similar to what Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa did in 1998. But this chase is better because the 'clean' home run record is at stake.

With MLB looking for its final participant in the 2025 Home Run Derby, the Yankees will have its first HR Derby representative since Aaron Judge in 2017. Jazz Chisholm, who publicly stated he would participate if MLB invited him, as accepted the invitation and will compete in the upcoming Home Run Derby.

The Yankees avoided being on the wrong side of history and then decided they were not just going to stop there.
