Tony La Russa has been away from the Chicago White Sox for over a week due to health problems. However, the manager appears to be on his way back before the end of the regular season.
La Russa hopes to return to the White Sox mine next week, by Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The 77-year-old “will be fine” after a series of health tests and hopes to be paid to return as early as Monday.
La Russa left the White Sox at the end of August due to an unspecified health issue. At that time, his absence is said to be indefinite when the doctors considered his condition.
The White Sox have struggled under La Russa this season, playing with a 63-65 record at the helm. They drew 6-3 under interim coach Miguel Cairo.
