CLEVELAND — Terry Francona's heart, of all things, has kept him away from baseball.
Cleveland's passionate and driven manager underwent a procedure Thursday to correct an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him for a few games and will prevent him from managing in the All-Star Game next week.
The 58-year-old Francona had been experiencing dizziness, fatigue and a rapid heart rate for several weeks. He had a cardiac ablation at the Cleveland Clinic.
The Indians said Friday that Francona is resting comfortably. He is expected to be discharged in a "day or two" and resume managing after the All-Star break.
