Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Kike Hernandez is carrying a little bit more weight than usual in the latest pictures posted to his Twitter account.

It should give L.A. fans reason to celebrate, not worry.

Hernandez announced he will become a father, donning a fake belly mold as his wife, actress Mariana Vicente, showed off the baby bump to their followers.

So, no, it's not a real-life version of the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger film Junior, but it is a welcomed announcement for Hernandez and his family.

Now, if he shows up at Dodgers training camp July 1 carrying some extra weight, that's a whole different issue.
