and former Metropolitan Division veteran has left the team indefinitely for personal reasons and his timeline to return is unknown.

Shortly after the announcement his wife Vanessa created a post on Instagram explaining the situation which involves their unborn daughter who is facing an extremely serious health risk when she will be born.

It's been a stressful time for the Perron family as they were forced to move into a hotel and watch their summer shorten while trying to stay positive as the news about their unborn daughter Elizabeth continued to change.
