Tony La Russa to Leave White Sox Indefinitely Due to Medical Issue, per Report

White Sox manager Tony La Russa will be out indefinitely as he continues to undergo tests for an unknown medical issue, the team reported on Wednesday.

The plan will be to monitor the manager’s test results. He will undergo the tests in Arizona by his personal physicians. The team will base his potential return on the results of the tests.

The 77-year-old missed Tuesday’s game vs. the Royals after the team announced the manager would miss the game just an hour before it started. In La Russa’s absence, bench coach Miguel Cairo will take over as interim manager of the team.
