Two fast rising Rays prospects have been named to the 2026 Futures Game roster as part of MLB’s upcoming All-Star Game celebrations. This year’s teams are split between American and National leagues.
First up is OF Theo Gillen, the Rays first round pick from 2024 (18th overall) who has vaulted into a top-ten prospect in all of baseball this year. He just earned a promotion to Double-A and will be one of ten former first round picks on the AL roster.
The other is C Nathan Flewelling, one of only eight players from A-ball getting this honor, as he remains at the High-A Hot Rods. He’s shown strong power from his left handed swing, and has improved markedly on defense, bringing him also into focus for Top-100 prospect lists.
1980 World Series Champion and former Phillies manager Larry Bowa will manage the AL side, while former Rays nemesis Shane Victorino will manage the NL prospects. The All-Star Game festivities will be held in Philadelphia this year.
