DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire spent the break playing with his grandkids.
Catcher James McCann got to watch his seven-month-old twin sons laugh and roll over.
Pitcher Blaine Hardy found out that his new bundle of joy will be a boy.
Jeimer Candelario went home to the Dominican Republic to visit family and friends.
Other players healed bumps and bruises or simply reset after a long first half of the season.
"It just gives guys a chance to clear their heads and refresh their bodies," said McCann.
The Tigers returned to Comerica Park on Friday after the four-day break to open the second half with a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.
