Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Teoscar Hernandez won last summer's Home Run Derby, and he is open to the idea of defending his championship this year. Hernandez, a two-time All-Star, said his priority is to make the All-Star team again.

"I'm still thinking about it," he said Sunday, outside of the visitors' indoor hitting cage at Truist Park. "Obviously, I want to have a really, really good first half, so I can be in the All-Star Game. There would be a really good chance that I would participate in the Home Run Derby."
