Brent Rooker Out Briefly on Paternity, Alvarez Steps In
Brent Rooker will be absent from the Oakland Athletics for about two to three days as he is on paternity leave.
The Oakland Athletics have reported that the outfielder Brent Rooker will be out for a brief while since he is on the paternity list as of now. Indeed, Rooker will be away from the team for approximately two to three days. The reason for the player’s withdrawal is that his family will be acquiring a new member in the form of a child. To remedy the situation, the Oakland Athletics decided to invite Armando Alvarez from their minor league to join the team. The move to call Alonso to join the team is a prudent one since he demonstrated excellent skills in the minors and will help during Rooker’s absence in the league. The Oakland Athletics are in the heart of the season, and the roster change is vital given the circumstances at the moment.
