San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) – The San Diego Padres could be without starting second baseman Jedd Gyorko for their three-game series with the San Francisco Giants due to the impending birth of his first children.<\/p>\n
The Padres placed Gyorko on the paternity leave list prior to Monday’s opener of the set. The 25-year-old’s wife, Karley, is expecting twins.<\/p>\n
Gyorko has gotten off to a slow start to the season, hitting just .144 (13- of-90) with one home run and nine RBI through 26 games. He led all MLB rookies with 23 homers in 2013.<\/p>\n
Outfielder Tommy Medica was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to take Gyorko’s place on the active roster.<\/p>\n
Medica went just 4-for-28 with the Padres prior to being sent to the minors last Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
