CINCINNATI (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies put hot-hitting first baseman Bryce Harper on paternity leave on Monday before a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. Harper has been a key piece of the Phillies’ offense during their six-game winning streak. They finished the recent homestand with an 8-2 record. The team didn’t say how long Harper will be gone. He and his wife, Kayla, announced on March 26 that they were expecting their third child. The 31-year-old Harper is on a six-game hitting streak, batting .381 during that span. He played his 600th game with the Phillies on Friday. To take his place on the 26-man roster, Philadelphia promoted infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 27-year-old Clemens has hit .270 with three home runs, 11 RBIs and 13 runs in 16 games with Lehigh Valley. ___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB |
