ATLANTA - The baby daughter of Atlanta Braves second baseman Marcus Giles has died -- 16 days after her premature birth.<br>
<br>
Lundyn Mae Giles weighed just one pound when she was delivered by Caesarean section on June 3 at Atlanta's Northside Hospital. She died Wednesday.<br>
<br>
Because she was ten weeks premature, the infant had been in the neonatal intensive care section.<br>
<br>
Braves spokesman Jim Schultz said Giles called during Wednesday night's Tigers-Braves game to inform the team of the death.<br>
<br>
Giles is on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained ankle.<br>
<br>
He was scheduled to go on a rehabilitation assignment to the minors earlier this month, but that was delayed so he could remain with his wife -- Tracy -- and the baby.
