The Phillies revealed that Hamels' wife, Heidi, delivered the couple's first child, Caleb Michael, on Friday at 9 a.m. ET at Lankenau Hospital, which is located in North Philadelphia.
After spending some time with his wife and newborn son, Hamels is expected to rejoin the Phillies, who are scheduled to play Games 3 and 4 of their National League Division Series against the Rockies in Denver this weekend.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said that he would gain a better understanding about when Hamels may rejoin the club after calling him following Friday afternoon's workout at Coors Field.
Hamels threw five innings and took the loss in Game 2 on Thursday afternoon. With the best-of-five series tied at one game apiece, there's a chance the Phillies could call upon the 25-year-old left-hander to start Game 5, which if necessary, would be played on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
