NEW YORK (AP) -Home run leaders Chase Utley and Grady Sizemore, and major league RBIs leader Josh Hamilton are among the players who will be in the All-Star home run derby.
Lance Berkman and Dan Uggla also will be in the July 14 contest at Yankee Stadium, the commissioner’s office said Monday.
Utley entered Monday with a major league-leading 24 homers for Philadelphia, and Sizemore topped the AL with 22 for Cleveland.
Hamilton has 19 homers and 84 RBIs for Texas, while Berkman has 22 homers for Houston and Uggla 23 for Florida.
Three players will be added to the event. Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi said Sunday that if fans elect him to the final spot on the AL roster, he would be willing to hit in the annual contest.
