Bryce Harper Takes Paternity Leave, Phillies Promote Kody Clemens

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed Bryce Harper on paternity leave as he and his wife await the birth of their third child.

Bryce Harper, key to the Phillies' recent success, is on paternity leave starting Monday.
Harper's paternity leave coincides with the Phillies' four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Kody Clemens has been called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill Harper's spot on the roster.
Clemens brings versatility to the team, having played every position except catcher and center field.
Harper could potentially return to the Phillies lineup for the series finale on Thursday.
