On Tuesday, the Cleveland Indians were without their manager Terry Francona for their game against the Kansas City Royals. Francona was absent due to medical tests that he had to undergo. This news came as a surprise to many fans, as Francona is known for his dedication to the team and his presence in the dugout.
The Indians released a statement saying that Francona had been feeling unwell for a few days and that he was undergoing tests to determine the cause of his discomfort. The team also said that Francona was expected to return to the team soon.
In Francona’s absence, bench coach Brad Mills took over managerial duties for the game. Mills has been with the Indians since 2013, and has been a part of Francona’s coaching staff since then. He is well-respected in the organization and is familiar with the team’s strategies and players.
The Indians ended up winning the game against the Royals, which was a great result for the team. However, it was clear that the team missed Francona’s presence in the dugout. Francona is known for his ability to motivate players and make key decisions during games.
The Indians have not yet released any further information on Francona’s condition or when he is expected to return. Fans are hoping that he will be back soon and that he is doing well. In the meantime, the team will continue to rely on Mills and the rest of the coaching staff to lead them to victory.
