Ryan Weathers Placed on Paternity List Following Early Arrival of Son

The New York Yankees placed right-hander Ryan Weathers on the paternity list Wednesday as he and his wife welcomed a baby boy. The couple's "little man" reportedly decided to arrive earlier than expected, prompting Weathers to step away from the team to attend to family matters. In a corresponding roster move, the Yankees recalled Jake Bird from the minors to provide pitching depth. Weathers will rejoin the club after his brief leave to celebrate the new addition to his family.
