At the beginning of the season, MLB announced that three AAA umpires would be promoted to full time MLB positions to replace retiring umpires and that the fourth, Adrian, was replacing an umpire who was taking a year's leave due to an inury.
It was acknowledged that the umpire on leave would not be returning and that Adrian would remain in his spot after his official retirement, however, that retirement would not officially take effect until the end of the season.
Has this changed?
