The futures game is a collection of baseball’s best prospects as each team sends two players from its farm system. Rosters have been announced as well.
MLBx, meanwhile, replaces the Celebrity Softball game. Instead this year it's a home-run hitting challenge for players as they are awarded points for hitting and catching in the field. Each team includes an MLB legend, a professional softball player, and a celebrity.

Big Events Start Monday
The big events that we all have come to expect from the All-Star celebration kick off on Monday.
MLB Home Run Derby - Monday, July 13 at 8 p.m.

It's a classic night of baseball. This year it's making its debut on Netflix, and it'll have some new rules as well. Check it out here.
Players now will be given a finite number of swings per round instead of a timed format. It's unclear (as of now) which Phillies players will be participating in this year's derby, but Philadelphia's hopes could rest on the shoulders of Kyle Schwarber if he participates.
MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet - Tuesday, July 14 at 2 p.m.

It doesn't get more Philly than this. The All-Star day kicks off with "the All-Star game red carpet." Players will showcase their fashion from Independence Hall (ticket registration has already closed). They'll then be transported to the ballpark for the game.
MLB All-Star Game - Tuesday, July 14 at 8 p.m.

This is the big game. Tickets have sold out a while ago, but if you're willing to pay you may be able to pick some up on the resale market. The Phillies' own Kyle Schwarber had an impressive game last year as he was crowned the MVP. Will he do it again?
