The team said tests taken on Francona came back “within normal ranges.” He rejoined the Guardians for Thursday’s series finale but remained in his office during the game because of excessive heat at Kauffman Stadium.
Francona is in his 11th season with Cleveland. He led the Guardians to an AL Central title last season and was named manager of the year.
Bench coach DeMarlo Hale filled in for Francona during the series against the Royals. Hale also guided the Guardians for the final 63 games in 2021 after Francona had to step away due to health issues.
The Guardians enter the weekend tied with Minnesota for first place in the division. After three games with the Cubs, Cleveland returns home for seven games before the all-star break.
