The White Sox placed right-handed closer David Robertson on the paternity list and called up right-hander Gregory Infante from Class AAA Charlotte.
The team announced the move Monday as the White Sox kickstart their three-game series against the Athletics in Oakland.
Robertson is expected to remain on the paternity list for three days and miss the White Sox series against the Athletics.
Robertson’s wife, Erin, is due to give birth to the couple’s second child any day now. She was originally due on June 29.
