Just as Felix Hernandez told me the other day, his wife, Mariella, beat the due date on the birth of their second child.

Jeremy Abraham Hernandez arrived this morning, checking in at six pounds, 10 ounces.

Baby, mother, father and sister, Mia, reportedly are all doing fine. Felix leaves for Florida on Sunday to join Venezuela’s World Baseball Classic team.

In other up-to-date news, more or less, Mike Morse was scratched from the starting lineup against the Dodgers because of flu-like symptons.
