Orlando Arcia to go on paternity list after birth of twin daughters

Congratulations to Orlando Arcia. The Milwaukee Brewers’ shortstop is a proud papa. Arcia’s fiancé, Elena, delivered healthy twin girls on Sunday. In fact, Arcia left Sunday’s game against Chicago in the third inning to get to the birth of his daughters. He was able to make the momentum occasion on time.

Manager Craig Counsell did say that Arcia will be taking some time away from the Brewers for paternity leave.
