Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez won't participate in this year's Home Run Derby despite leading the American League in round-trippers.

"I'm still open (to participating) but not this year," Alvarez said Sunday. The 28-year-old didn't reveal if he'd been asked to take part in this year's event, which had its format revamped by MLB.
