Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien has been placed on the paternity leave list.
Semien has played in every game this season up to this point but Chad Pinder will take over at shortstop on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Athletics recalled reliever Josh Lucas from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding roster move.
Semien is averaging 10.0 FanDuel points in 55 games this season while slashing .268/.320/.383 with 5 home runs, 24 RBI, 35 runs scored, and 4 steals across 259 plate appearances.
