Jordan Mailata and Terrell Owens among the celebrities playing in the MLBx 3-on-3 game
Rapper Eladio Carrión and actor and singer Antonio Cipriano complete the lineup for the celebrity game on All-Star Sunday.

All-Star Weekend is underway in Philly and the roster for the MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3 is set.
The additions of Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata, former Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, rapper Eladio Carrión, and actor and singer Antonio Cipriano complete the lineup for the celebrity game on All-Star Sunday.
The inaugural event (3 p.m. on Peacock and NBCSN) at Citizens Bank Park features a four-team format with teams led by 2008 World Series champions Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, and Shane Victorino, as well as Andruw Jones, an inductee in this year’s Baseball Hall of Fame class.

Each team features one of the four captains as well as a professional softball player from the Athletes Unlimited Softball League. This is the first time women are actively involved in the All-Star Game outside of the old celebrity softball game.
Mailata joins Team Howard with Alyssa Brito Jordan. Owens joins Rollins on his team with Tiara Jennings.
Carrión, a Grammy Award-winning artist joins Team Victorino along with Rachel Garcia. A massive baseball fan, he frequently names MLB players in his music.
Cipriano, a Broadway actor and singer who also stars in Prime Video’s Off Campus series, joins Jones on the Atlanta Braves team alongside softball pitcher NiJaree Canady. While he plays a hockey player in Off Campus, Cipriano also participates in a Broadway Softball League.
Like their captains, Owens and Mailata know what it’s like to play in front of Philly sports fans. Owens said baseball was his first love so he is excited about playing with Rollins and said fans can “expect [them] to put on a show.”
And while it might be a little different from a Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, Mailata said he knows how passionate Philly fans are no matter the sport.
“Being part of MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3 is an incredible opportunity. Baseball has such a passionate following in Philadelphia, and I’m excited to represent the city, team up with Ryan Howard and compete alongside some amazing athletes. Now it’s time to see if I can bring some of that power from the football field to the MLBx stage,” Mailata said.

Carrión and Cipriano, however, are used to performing for a much different audience, but like Owens, Carrión is ready to “put on a show.”
“I’m excited to team up with Shane Victorino and to be part of the first-ever MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3. It is going to be a lot of fun. Philadelphia is a city that loves sports, so we’re coming ready to compete,” Carrión said.
How the game works
The announcement of the final rosters also confirmed the tournament bracket for Sunday’s competition.
The first game, semifinal one, will see Team Howard go against Team Rollins. Semifinal two will have Team Victorino take on Team Atlanta Braves. It will then be followed by a championship game between the two winning teams.
Each game is expected to last about 30 minutes. The three-inning game will see each player have one two-minute at-bat in the game from a custom-built stage, while the other team positions its three players in the outfield.
Points will be earned for home runs and defensive catches, with bonus points for hitting center-field targets or by activating a five-swing “hot streak,” which doubles the offensive and defensive points that can be earned.
