Durham Bulls infielder Kyle Manzardo has been selected to play in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, which will take place on Saturday, July 8 at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington as part of MLB All-Star festivities. Manzardo is one of two Tampa Bay Rays minor league players to be selected to participate in the contest, along with Double-A Montgomery infielder Junior Caminero.

Rated by MLB.com as the No. 42 overall prospect in baseball, the 22-year-old through 65 games with Durham has compiled a .245 batting average (57-233), adding 28 runs, 17 doubles, one triple, ten homers and 34 RBI along with 39 walks and a .353 on-base percentage. As of June 26, the Idaho native ranks second among Rays farmhands in doubles, in addition to ranking third in extra-base hits (28), fourth in walks drawn (39), sixth in total bases (106) and tied for sixth in home runs.

Manzardo was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Washington State University. In 171 career contests, he owns a .297 average (178-600), adding 109 runs, 48 doubles, two triples, 34 homers and 123 RBI.

Manzardo becomes just the latest Bulls player to represent Durham in the All-Star Futures Game after right-hander Taj Bradley and infielder Curtis Mead played in last year's game in Los Angeles. In 2021, infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan and right-hander Shane Baz participated in the 2021 All-Star Futures Game in Denver, Colorado.

The 2023 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game will take place on Saturday, July 8 at 7:00pm ET at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. The seven-inning contest will be played in a National League versus America League format and will air exclusively on Peacock and SiriusXM.
