Also on Sunday, the 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game took place in Philadelphia.
Ben Grable (Yankees) made a heartfelt statement when he met with the media (via SNY Yankees).
Grable: “Ever since I was a kid, my goal has been to win a World Series. Whether I throw one inning or 200 innings, it doesn’t matter. I just want a chance to compete at the highest level.”
Grable was picked in the 11th round of the 2025 MLB Draft out of Indiana.
He has gone 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA in 22 Double-A games this year.
MLB Pipeline wrote (on July 8): “Ben Grable has been added to the AL Futures Game squad to replace fellow #Yankees pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange, who is on the IL. The 2025 Draft pick has a 13.8 K/9 across two levels this season and touches 99 mph with his fastball.”

He will be a prospect worth watching for Yankees fans, as there is an excellent chance that the 24-year-old could get to Triple-A soon.
