The rosters for each participating team in the 2026 World Baseball Classic have been unveiled.
The United States will be led by New York Yankees star Aaron Judge, who will make his WBC debut this year as team captain. Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber is the lone returning player from the Team USA lineup that lost 3-2 in the final to Japan in 2023.
The United States’ starting rotation will be headlined by 2025 American League and National League Cy Young winners Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes. This award is given to the best pitcher in each league.
Japan is looking to win back-to-back titles, led by four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, who sealed the victory by striking out three-time AL MVP and his former Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim teammate Mike Trout for the final out.
The main storyline heading into the World Baseball Classic next month is the involvement of Puerto Rico, which has contemplated withdrawing from the tournament due to insurance concerns.
New York Mets star Francisco Lindor, is among, at least, eight players on the potential Puerto Rico roster who have not been denied insurance coverage to play in the WBC, according to CBS Sports.
Lindor was denied insurance coverage because of his two right elbow surgeries over the last three years, as reported by Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic.
Team Puerto Rico operations manager Joey Sola told The Athletic last week that Houston Astros star Carlos Correa and Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher José BerrÃos have not been cleared to play, but their cases are still being reviewed.
