Matt Gelb was the first to confirm the swirling rumors. Bryce Harper has been played on the paternity list and Maikel Franco has been recalled.

Baby Bryce Harper is on their way! Bryce’s wife Kayla has gone into labor and Philadelphia is officially on baby watch.

I’m assuming this is how the British feel when a royal baby is born. The Harper baby will be the new prince of Philadelphia. As with Will Smith, baby Harper will be Philadelphia born and raised.

Bryce Harper is in the first year of a 13-year contract he signed with the Phillies in the offseason. Bryce and Kayla’s first child will be a teenager after the deal is said and done.

Philly Sports Network would like to officially congratulate the Harper family on their first child, may your child grow up healthy and happy!

Bryce Harper will therefore not in Miami tonight. Maikel Franco will be back for the first time since being demoted on August 4th.
