Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber said Tuesday he hasn't been asked to take part in the 2021 Home Run Derby despite his recent hot streak but confirmed he'd turn down the offer if it does arrive.
Schwarber, who hit his 16th homer in the past 18 games in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, explained his previous experience in the 2018 Derby is a factor in his decision.
"I think the best thing to do is probably let it pass and rest up and look forward to the second half," he told reporters.
