J.C. Escarra Headed to the Paternity List
New York Yankees catcher J.C. Escarra will go on the paternity list after being forced to leave the team's series in Cincinnati when his wife went into labor. The team already has Austin Wells and Ben Rice on the roster, although they have tried not to use Rice behind the plate if possible. The team hasn't announced if they will call up a catcher to fill Escarra's spot on the roster, but if they do, Alex Jackson, Ronaldo Hernandez, and Jesus Rodriguez would be candidates to fill the role, with Rodriguez the most likely option since he is already on the 40-man roster. The team could also opt to just stick with Wells and Rice short term since Escarra will likely return soon.
