Major League Baseball Transactions - Paternity Leave List

Paternity Leave List

The paternity leave list may be used when a player finds it necessary to leave the team to attend the birth of his child. A player placed on the paternity leave list must miss the next team game, but no more than three games. The team can use another player from its 40-man roster to replace a player on the paternity leave list. This list was adopted beginning with the 2011 season.

Famous quotes containing the words leave and/or list:

    If I could put my woods in song,
    And tell what’s there enjoyed,
    All men would to my gardens throng,
    And leave the cities void.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
