The Boston Red Sox will be forced to relive one of their early season nightmares this weekend – life without Sandy Leon.
The team announced on Friday that Leon has been placed on the paternity leave list as he welcomes his second child. This means he’ll miss up to three games as the Red Sox get set for a pivotal series against last year’s ALCS foe, the Houston Astros.

Leon failed to make the Opening Day roster but his absence was quickly pointed to as an excuse for the starting rotation stumbling out of the gate.
