The NL East leading Atlanta Braves have announced some joyous news before Saturday night’s home game versus the Cleveland Guardians.
I didn’t know Michael was anticipating, which makes me even more excited. Michael Harris will
go on the paternity list. Infielder slash part time outfielder slash emergency late inning reliever Luke Williams will join the active roster. Luke has slashed .212/.270/.280 over 349 lifetime plate appearances. He is out of option years, which means when Harris returns Williams will be in no man’s land. He will likely be booted from the 40-man roster. This could conceivably place Luke in an organization with some available playing time. With a 2025 wRC+ of zero though, I’m not so sure.
In other news, Daysbel Hernandez has been reinstated and optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. Daysbel didn’t throw a pitch in Spring Training as he has worked his way back from a right shoulder sebaceous cyst. Danny Young is recovering from Tommy John surgery, so he was moved to the 60-day IL to make room.
Apparently Michael Harris will be celebrating more that his home run last night. Congratulations, Mike, and enjoy the little one!
