KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Marcus Semien returned from the paternity list a day earlier than expected, flying in from the Bay Area on Friday after the birth of his second child, Joshua, on Wednesday.

“It’s probably not an upset he’s here a little earlier than maybe he should have been,” manager Bob Melvin said with a smile. Semien started each of the A’d first 55 games before Wednesday and Melvin has a tough time convincing him ever to take a day off.
