I'm not sure how I feel about this. How much responsibility does any employer have in a situation like this? Is he not eligible for a FMLA leave?

It also sounds like he's had this his whole life. Sometimes that's just called a personality trait.

Also, something that doesn't get talked about much is the amount of stress being a professional MLB player brings when you aren't a superstar. You are constantly in danger of being demoted to the minors if you end up with a bad streak or injury or someone better than you gets injured. You never know who the team will bring up from the minors temporarily that ends up being permanent.
