Escarra will miss Wednesday's game against the Reds and is expected to be placed on the paternity list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Escarra was supposed to be in Wednesday's lineup, but he'll instead be away from the team while attending the birth of his child. The Yankees didn't have time to call up a player to Cincinnati, so Austin Wells will start behind the plate with Ben Rice likely serving as the reserve catcher, per Hoch.
