CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians manager Terry Francona is back in the dugout after another health scare.

Francona has been cleared to manage the Indians during Wednesday’s game against Texas. The 58-year-old Francona has been fitted with a heart monitor, but he said doctors have ruled any serious health issues.

“It’s nice to have your uniform on and be back,” he said. “What I love is the day-to-day stuff. This is the most comfortable place in my life, where I am. I miss that when I’m gone.”

Francona left Monday’s 15-9 victory over Texas after he began to feel lightheaded and his heart rate increased, the same symptoms he experienced when he was taken to the hospital following a June 13 game.
