A player can be placed on the Major League Paternity Leave List when he leaves his club to attend the birth of his child. The childbirth must be either imminent or have occurred within the previous 48 hours.
A player can be placed on the Paternity Leave List any time during the MLB regular season and post-season.
A player must remain on the Paternity Leave List for at least 24 hours, but no more than 72 hours.
A player can be transferred from the Paternity Leave List to the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List if the childbirth results in a death or medical complication. For players who are transferred from the Paternity Leave List to the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List, time spent on the Paternity Leave List counts toward the maximum number of days permitted to be spent by the player on the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List.
The Paternity Leave List functions like the 7-day or 10-day Injured List, in that a player on the Paternity Leave List does not count against his club's Active List, so he can be replaced by another player while on the Paternity Leave List. He does count against his club's Reserve List (40-man roster), however.
An MLB player continues to accrue MLB service time while on the list.

Dansby has to be dog tired or something. Other than the basket shot, it’s been a rough go for awhile.

I'm confident that if Cuas' right arm falls completely off, Ross will see him as the first lefty to get up in the 'pen.
Maybe he's been a lefty all along.

don't see why he can't. he's got a pulse and all of his fingers. that seems to be good enough to march him out there as long as there's men on base.

As long as Cuas gets to pitch again today.

morel DH, tauchman CF, masterboney 3rd
imagine a world where a manager decides to put morel at 3rd and canario DH. crazy, huh?
masterboney had 3 hits yesterday so we're stuck with him again today and probably for a chunk of what's left.
canario had a double and grand slam a couple games ago and he's riding pine again.

madrigal's hamstring strain is a grade 2 strain. we probably won't see him anymore this season or post-season (if applicable) unless the team goes deep.
