J.C. Escarra Out—Baby on Deck!

Tough timing for the Bronx Bombers as J.C. Escarra, who’s been clutch behind the plate, is missing tonight’s Reds game for the best reason—he’s becoming a dad! After his standout game vs. the O’s (helping Schmidt go hitless and launching a homer), Escarra’s absence leaves a gap, especially since the Yanks can’t get a backup in time. Boone’s praise says it all: this guy’s earned his pinstripes. Thoughts on how the lineup adjusts tonight? #Yankees #JCEscarra #MLB #Sports #Baseball
