Guardians Manager Francona Returning After 3-Game Health-Related Absence

Francona was hospitalized earlier this week due to feeling lightheaded but tests came back normal.
Francona missed the Guardians' past three games against the Royals but will manage the team again starting Friday against the Cubs.
Francona has a history of medical issues including blood clots, gastrointestinal problems, and recent surgeries that have caused him to miss time over the past few seasons.
The Guardians went 1-2 in the three games Francona missed under interim manager DeMarlo Hale.
There were concerns over the poor air quality in Chicago, but conditions have improved slightly ahead of Friday's series opener.
