CLEVELAND: Indians manager Terry Francona will not manage Tuesday night’s game against the San Diego Padres as he undergoes further tests at the Cleveland Clinic, per president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti.
Francona twice in June had to exit games due to symptoms related to an elevated heart rate, potential dehydration and light headedness. Tuesday night will mark the second full game he has missed this season, as he was also absent for the Indians’ game on June 27 when Antonetti told him to stay home and rest following his second episode the night prior.
According to Antonetti, Francona did not have an episode on Tuesday.
