Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa will not return for the remainder of the 2022 MLB season, the team announced Saturday afternoon.
La Russa, according to a release, underwent additional testing and medical procedures over the past week regarding the heart condition that has kept him out of the White Sox' dugout since late August. The decision was reached at the direction of the examining doctors.
Acting manager Miguel Cairo will continue in that post for the rest of the campaign.
La Russa, 77, last managed on Aug. 28, a 3-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
