Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Indians, will be the site of the 2019 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
Major League Baseball and the Indians have not confirmed the news, although the club did announce Thursday that it has a press conference scheduled for Friday morning. Cleveland.com and MLB.com first reported the home of the Indians would host the Midsummer Classic.
The Indians returned to the World Series last fall for the first time since 1997, which also marks the last time the team hosted the All-Star Game.
Cleveland has hosted the game four times: 1935, 1954, 1963, 1981 and 1997.
The 2017 MLB All-Star Game will be held in Miami, with Washington serving as host in 2018.
