Bryce Harper Placed on Paternity Leave by the Phillies

Via The Inquirer:

Baby Harper is on his way.

Bryce Harper did not fly with the Phillies this weekend to Miami. He returned home to be with his wife, Kayla, as she gives birth to the couple’s son.

Harper was placed by the Phillies on the paternity list before Friday’s series opener against the Marlins. He can stay on the list for three days.

His roster spot this weekend will be filled by Maikel Franco, who returns from triple A after being demoted last month.
