Luis Gil is set to make the biggest step in his comeback from the strained lat that’s sidelined him since spring training.

The American League defeated the National League in a high-scoring matchup in the 2025 MLB Celebrity Softball Game on Saturday night, winning by the final score of 17-15.

New York Yankees left-hander Max Fried exited Saturday's 5-2 loss to the visiting Chicago Cubs with a blister on his left thumb after laboring through three innings.

Judge has been pretty great as well. With a 3-for-4 performance on Saturday, the All-Star and reigning MVP is leading the league with a .358 average and a 1.204 OPS. He also has 81 RBI. His 35 home runs, meanwhile, are second in baseball – Seattle’s Cal Raleigh has 38 – and the most ever by a Yankee prior to the All-Star break.

Chicago’s Matthew Boyd won a matchup of All-Star left-handers as Max Fried left early because of yet another blister on his pitching hand, and the Cubs stopped the New York Yankees’ five-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory.

Ace Max Fried will no longer be available to pitch in the All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta next week. Fellow left-hander Carlos Rodón took his spot as a reserve pitcher, the league announced.
