The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Kenley Jansen on the paternity list and recalled Mitch White prior to the series finale against the San Diego Padres. Jansen and his wife Gianni welcomed their daughter, Key’Gia Keziah Jansen, at 10:06 a.m. PT on Sunday morning.
Jansen tweeted his daughter and wife were doing well after the birth. “Congratulations to Kenley, Gianni and the Jansen family. I know they’re excited, a healthy a baby girl,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Great thing for the Jansen family.”
A player put on paternity leave requires them to miss at least that day’s game but no more than three days.
