Junior Caminero, Ben Rice, Jac Caglianone set for Home Run Derby 2026

The 2026 Home Run Derby will take place on July 13 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, featuring three confirmed participants. Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays, who finished as last year's runner-up, Ben Rice of the New York Yankees, and Kansas City Royals' Jac Caglianone have all committed to compete. This year's derby comes with a new format eliminating timed rounds, shifting to a finite number of swings per round. There is speculation regarding the participation of stars Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, who remain undecided as they deal with personal considerations and health issues. A total of eight players are expected to compete in the event.
