MLB Futures Game score: How to watch, rosters, live updates and highlights
The Major League Baseball All-Star Futures Game takes place Saturday at Truist Park in Atlanta, the annual showcase for MLB's top prospects in the days leading up to the Midsummer Classic.
Players are divided into the American and National League teams — based on parent club — rather than American vs. International prospects, as the game was initially played from 1999-2018.
Three of top eight prospects will feature in the 2025 game: Padres infielder Leo De Vries, Rangers infielder Sebastian Walcott and Brewers infielder Jesús Made, following in the footsteps of the future stars who have participated in this showcase over the past quarter-century.
Last year, Joe Mauer (2003) became the first Futures Game alumnus to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, with CC Sabathia (2000) set to join him in Cooperstown this summer.

JJ Wetherholt starts game for National League with double
The first hit of the afternoon goes to the National League, as St. Louis Cardinals prospect JJ Wetherholt laces a lead-off double off the wall in left-center field.

JR Ritchie throws scoreless opening frame in Futures Game
After falling behind 3-1 in the count to Jhostynxon Garcia, JR Ritchie battles back and wins it by getting Garcia to chase a slider away for the third out of the inning. Nice job by the Braves' No. 6-ranked prospect to get himself out of the jam in the top of the first.
The American League strands Max Clark at third in the inning, as they weren't able to bring home the Tigers' No. 2-ranked prospect after he worked a lead-off walk.

Charlie Condon makes return home in Futures Game
With All-Star Game week in Atlanta this year, it's a homecoming for the Colorado Rockies' No. 1-ranked prospect Charlie Condon, who grew up in the Atlanta area and attended Georgia.
Hitting .301 this season in the minors, Condon, MLB Pipeline's No. 23-ranked prospect, is widely considered the future of the Rockies program by minor league analysts. He was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft by the Rockies and was recently called up to Double-A Hartford on July 1.
White Sox's Braden Montgomery starting for American League in Futures Game
This time last year, Braden Montgomery was one of the more highly touted and sought-after prospects in the 2024 MLB Draft. A year later, the now-Chicago White Sox's prospect is starting in the MLB Futures Game for the American League team.
Originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft and later traded to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade this past offseason, Montgomery is hitting .261 with 77 hits, 52 RBIs and 11 home runs across two levels in the minor leagues this season. He is ranked as the White Sox's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline.
Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin taking swings at Futures Game
Pittsburgh Pirates No. 2 prospect Konnor Griffin is taking some pregame swings in the cage during batting practice at the 2025 MLB Futures Game. Griffin, who was drafted No. 9 overall in 2024 out of Jackson Prep High School, is starting at shortstop for the National League.
Griffin is hitting .302 this season for High-A Greensboro with 29 hits, 17 RBIs and four home runs.

Getting the start on the mound for the American League team in the 2025 MLB Futures Game will be Cleveland Guardians left-handed prospect Parker Messick.
Fresh off being named the Pitcher of the Week in the minor leagues, Messick is 4-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 75 innings pitched this season for Triple-A Columbus. In his most recent start on July 5, the former Florida State product threw seven scoreless innings vs. Toledo while striking out nine hitters.
National League starting pitcher for 2025 MLB Futures Game
