Tommy Lasorda Hospitalized for Infection, Expected to Be Released Next Week

Legendary Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda is currently hospitalized in California with an infection, but he's expected to make a complete recovery.

On Saturday, TMZ Sports received confirmation of the news from a Dodgers representative, who noted it's the second time the former skipper has needed medical treatment for the same issue. It's projected the 89-year-old two-time World Series champion will be released by the middle of next week.

Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register noted Lasorda was also hospitalized twice in 2016; in August after falling at a memorabilia show and in October while dealing with various ailments.
