That’s a funny way of saying “Congratulations.”

On Thursday, “SportsCenter” anchor Sara Walsh, who was returning to the network from maternity leave after giving birth to twins in February, confirmed via social media that she too had been let go.

“I was truly excited to return to work today from maternity leave with the twins. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back as I was included in the recent layoffs. Much appreciation to those I worked with, and especially to those who watched,” Walsh tweeted.

Walsh, 39, joined ESPN in 2010 after serving as a weekend sports reporter for CBS-affiliate WUSA in Washington, DC. She wed Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Buschmann in 2014.

Walsh joins the ever-growing list of talent cut by the network.
