The Cards announced the following transaction in advance of tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks:
8/12/22: Released LHP T.J. McFarland
8/19/22: Placed RHP Ryan Helsley on the Paternity Leave List. Recalled LHP JoJo Romero from AAA Memphis. Activated DH Juan Yepez from the 10-day IL and optioned him to AAA Memphis.
I’m not sure whether Helsley’s wife has already given birth to their child or is about to. The rules allow the Cards to place Helsley on the Paternity Leave List to attend the birth of a child, a birth which is either imminent or has already occurred within the previous 48 hours.
