If Christian Yelich doesn’t see J.T. Realmuto at the ballpark before the Brewers leave town, he hopes to catch up with his former teammate and closest friend on the Marlins in the hospital maternity ward over the next couple of days.
“It’s only fitting he had a kid when I came back into town,” Yelich said of Realmuto, who was placed on the paternity list on Monday in order to be with his wife for the birth for their first child.
Realmuto could miss the entire three-game series with Milwaukee.
But, at the very least, Yelich and Realmuto will be together next week in Washington D.
