The Chicago White Sox released a statement Thursday regarding the driving under the influence charge manager is facing.
Per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the statement read:
"As Tony La Russa's attorney said in his statement, Tony deserves all the assumptions and protections granted to everyone in a court of law, especially while this is a pending matter. Once his case reaches resolution in the courts, we will have more to say. The White Sox understand the seriousness of these charges."
ESPN's Jeff Passan, Paula Lavigne and Charlie Moynihan obtained court records this week showing that La Russa was charged with DUI after he allegedly hit a curb with his car in Phoenix in February.
