CLEVELAND — Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona is feeling better and expected back in the dugout for Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Francona felt ill late in Tuesday's 7-5 loss and did not meet with reporters afterward. Bench coach Brad Mills filled in for Francona in the ninth inning and for his postgame news conference.
A team spokesman says Francona will conduct his usual pregame availability at Progressive Field and is expected to manage Wednesday's game.
The 58-year-old Francona missed a game last season in Washington because of chest pains.
