Congratulations are in order for Sandy León and his wife Liliana, who are set to welcome their second child into the world. León will, of course, want to be there for the birth and his child’s first days and has been placed on paternity leave to be with his growing family. Óscar Hernández has been called up from Pawtucket to take León’s spot on the roster. To make room on the 40-man for Hernández, Chandler Shepherd was designated for assignment.
Red Sox place Sandy Leon on paternity leave. C Oscar Hernandez selected from AAA.
