John Farrell, who recently completed his final course of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with Stage 1 Lymphoma, will return as manager of the Boston Red Sox in 2016, the team announced Sunday.
The 53-year-old Farrell has been on medical leave since Aug. 14 after being diagnosed. Torey Lovullo, who has been the interim manager during Farrell's absence, also will return as he signed a two-year extension through 2017 to return to his regular role as bench coach.
