Cleveland Indians' Terry Francona denied plan to go from hospital to dugout for Tuesday's game

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Terry Francona, after spending the Monday night at Cleveland Clinic, planned on returning Progressive Field in time to manage the Indians on Tuesday night. Chris Antonetti, president of baseball operations, said no way.

"Tito wanted to come back to the ballpark today," Antonetti told reporters before Tuesday's game against Texas. "I told him he can't come back to the ballpark today. He only got a couple hours of sleep last night and despite his desire to want to be here, I thought it was best for him to get some rest and come back Wednesday.
