Whit Merrifield and wife Jordan Michael expecting a new baby …
Whit Merrifield is going to be a father of three.
On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Phillies baseball player, and his wife, Jordan Michael, shared on Instagram that they are expecting another baby. The couple are parents to son Krew, 4, and daughter Brooklyn, 3.
In the announcement posted to social media, Bryce and Kayla are photographed embracing on the beach, with Bryce’s hands on Kayla’s belly as he kisses her on the forehead. In the next photo, their two kids stand barefoot on the beach holding the sonogram in their hand
A few years later, in August 2019, they welcomed their first child. The announcement came a month after Bryce signed a $330 million, 13-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. At the time, the couple both revealed the pregnancy on Instagram with a photo of them holding a pint-sized jean jacket that read “Baby Harper” on the back — and featured Bryce’s new number, 3.
Not long after, in June 2020, Bryce announced the couple was pregnant again
Since welcoming his two kids, Bryce has spoken out about his love for his growing family. In May 2022, he told a Los Angeles radio station, “I have an amazing family, I have an amazing wife, two beautiful kids that keep me very humbled and grounded. When I leave the field, it’s all about them.”
He continued, “My wife takes care of the kids at home. She does a great job at that. She supports me each night, goes to every single game she can … I’m humbled to have a wife and a family like that.”

Bryce Harper added a sacrifice fly and an RBI single on his best friend the Phillies Phanatic’s birthday to complete an 8-2 homestand for the Phillies. After splitting a four-game series with Pittsburgh, the Phillies fattened their record with series sweeps of Colorado and the White Sox.
Beating the White Sox was pretty much a given on a windy, chilly day in Philly.
The big question — how long would it take for the White Sox to get a hit?
Spencer Turnbull carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and Zack Wheeler took one into the eighth in consecutive starts to open the series. The Phillies rotation entered the game having gone 31 1/3 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, their longest streak since 1969.
There was no real no-no bid in this one. Nola (3-1) allowed a one-out single to the second batter of the game and Eloy Jiménez followed with a two-run homer for the quick lead.
That was it for the White Sox. Chicago extended its franchise-worst start to 3-18 and have lost nine of its last 10 games.
Nola walked only one and threw 91 pitches.
The Phillies swiped a page out of your local Little League game and used a baserunning razzle-dazzle to score three times in the first off Nick Nastrini (0-2).
Harper was on first following his run-scoring single that made it 2-1 and Turner was on third. Harper took off an attempted steal of second base but pulled up just shy of the bag. Second baseman Lenyn Sosa ran Harper almost all the way back to first base until he spotted Turner scampering toward the plate and made an off-target side-armed throw home. Turner was safe.
Brandon Marsh made it 3-2 with an RBI single.
The Phillies scored three more in the fourth and Schwarber connected for his sixth homer of the year in the sixth.
Schwarber added a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
