Home Run Derby 2019: Time, TV, bracket, streaming info

CLEVELAND — Get ready for fireworks Monday night in Cleveland, as some of Major League Baseball's top sluggers go deep in the 2019 Home Run Derby.

The 2019 event at Progressive Field features eight hitters, facing off in a bracket-style format. Reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich was originally the No. 1 seed, but pulled out of the event on Sunday due to a sore back. He's replaced by Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman, who will face eighth-seeded Blue Jays phenom Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first round.

Last year's winner, Bryce Harper, is not participating this year. Other recent champions include Aaron Judge in 2017, Giancarlo Stanton in 2016 and Todd Frazier in 2015.

Ken Griffey Jr. is the only three-time winner, out-slugging the competition in 1994, 1998 and 1999. The 1997 event was also held at this ballpark in Cleveland, then known as Jacobs Field, and was won by Tino Martinez of the Yankees.
