Terry Francona misses Guardians game after being taken to hospital for tests

Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was taken to a Kansas City-area hospital on Tuesday and held overnight for precautionary tests, according to multiple reports.

According to Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com, Francona “complained of not feeling well” about 20 minutes before the Guardians’ game against Kansas City.

Francona was transported to University of Kansas Health Systems by ambulance “out of an abundance of caution” after being examined by on-site medical personnel, Hoynes reports.

Francona missed the game, which Cleveland won 2-1. Bench coach DeMarlo Hale managed the game in Francona’s place.

“He said, ‘Get in here, I’m not feeling too well,'” Hale said, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
