Jimmy Rollins Activated From Paternity Leave List

Congratulations are in order for Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins and his wife Johari, who welcomed a new addition to their family:

Camryn Drew Rollins is the newest Phillies fan. The baby girl was born to shortstop Jimmy Rollins and fitness trainer bride Johari Smith Rollins late Sunday night.

The little lady weighed in at 5 pounds, 11 ounces.

As we mentioned yesterday, Rollins had to leave a charity event Sunday night upon learning that Johari was in labor. He was out of the lineup on paternity leave for Monday’s and Tuesday’s games against the Washington Nationals.

Rollins should be back in the Phillies’ lineup Thursday night when they face the Cardinals:

Jimmy Rollins expected to rejoin team tomorrow, so Erik Kratz has been optioned to Triple-A. Rollins had been on paternity leave.

That was tweeted Wednesday, so “tomorrow” means “today”, Thursday. Confusing, I know, in the fast-moving media world we live in. Welcome to it, Camryn Rollins.
