HOUSTON -- It's been a whirlwind week for Astros closer Luke Gregerson, who rejoined the team for Saturday's game against the A's after missing three days due to the birth of his first child.
Gregerson left the field in Arlington during pregame warmups prior to Wednesday's game against Texas, but he didn't quite arrive by the time of the birth.
Instead, he watched his son, Logan John, being born via FaceTime on his phone from an airport before making it home.
"He's just the cutest little kid," Gregerson said. "... It's a feeling parents understand, an amazing feeling to hold your own child in your hands, especially a boy for me.
