[Zvon]

Great news. Kinda puts things in perspective when something like that happens.

hoping it was just jaundice. fits with the timeline. Glad he's getting better.

yeah, having to put the kid under the lights for a few days usually clears things up. hopefully it was nothing more than that.

And maybe MLB could come up with a "Family Medical Leave" status — that's the same as bereavement leave in name only, but doesn't lead to any premature punches in the gut when announced.

The best news of this young season. Baby deGrom was in our thoughts all weekend.

[Edgy MD]

deSon has been released from the hospital, and deGrom is throwing.

My wife had the same idea. Calling it bereavement leave is both horrifying and misleading in cases like this.

Per Metsblog:
Collins also confirmed that RHP Bartolo Colon will take the mound Wednesday in the series finale against Philadelphia, as scheduled. RHP Matt Harvey and LHP Steven Matz will start the first two games in Atlanta Friday and Saturday, with deGrom throwing in the series finale on Sunday. RHP Noah Syndergaard will start on Monday as the Mets open their series at home against Cincinnati.

A few details on de Trials of de Kid -- basically a newborn version of apnea; "When he would fall asleep, he would stop breathing," said deGrom.

I can't imagine how frightening that must be for parents. So happy
