Baseball fans will get their first look at the 2026 version of Team USA on Tuesday in a pre-World Baseball Classic exhibition against the San Francisco Giants.
A star-studded roster led by the likes of Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Bregman and many more will take the field together for manager Mark DeRosa with the start of the tournament just days away.
While Team USA enters this tournament as one of the favorites, only five players return from its 2023 roster, so the U.S. squad will have a different look. DeRosa will get his chance to tinker in Tuesday’s game against the Giants and Wednesday’s against the Colorado Rockies before the U.S. opens play Friday against Brazil.
It should be a fun one in the desert. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
