Athletics' Marcus Semien: Placed on paternity list Wednesday
Semien was placed on the paternity list Wednesday, as expected, the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports.
Analysis:
He was away from the team Tuesday and will miss another game Wednesday to be with his wife and newborn son. However, Semien will return for Oakland's next game Friday against the Cardinals, and figures to serve as the everyday shortstop through the end of the season. Reliever J.B. Wendelken was recalled Wednesday as a corresponding move and Chad Pinder figures to get the start at shortstop Wednesday.
