Tommy Lasorda ‘doing well’ after pacemaker replacement surgery

LOS ANGELES — Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda is recovering after surgery to replace his pacemaker.

The Los Angeles Dodgers said Friday on Twitter that Lasorda “is doing well.” He had the surgery Thursday.

Tommy Lasorda underwent surgery to replace his pacemaker yesterday. He's doing well and looking forward to returning to Dodger Stadium.

A team official says Lasorda will be undergoing rehab for the next few days before being released from the hospital, where the 89-year-old former Dodgers manager has been for over two weeks.

He has a history of heart problems, including a heart attack in 2012 when he received a pacemaker for the first time.
