Philadelphia's Bryce Harper placed on paternity leave
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper was placed on paternity leave on Friday.
What It Means:
Harper will likely miss this weekend's games after being placed on paternity leave. Look for the Phillies to start Maikel Franco or Brad Miller at third base with Scott Kingery moving to the outfield.
In 461 at-bats this season, Harper is hitting .254 with 27 home runs and 92 RBI.
