I hope it's something more along the lines of the Sox suggesting he take a week or so to help with roster flexibility than it is complications with the birth or something like that. You've got to figure if the birth was imminent enough that he left, that they would have induced labor by now, right?

I was thinking about this, but just realized it doesn't necessarily make sense. Duncan and Anderson have LF and CF locked up in Pawtucket until September. Unless they're comfortable DH'ing Carter every day and having Reddick play RF every day, he might be better off in Portland.

How does this automatically burns a Reddick option (genuine question)? I looked up the option rules in the Wiki and the following would seem to apply in this case (but maybe I'm missing something):
"A player may not be optioned in more than three seasons. However, if a player is optioned for a total of less than 20 days in a given season, the player shall not be charged with an option in connection with this limitation. A player is eligible for a fourth option season if he has been optioned in three seasons but has not yet amassed five full seasons of professional baseball experience. For the purpose of this exception, a full season is one in which the player is on any professional roster for at least 90 days."
