Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona will return to the dugout for Friday afternoon's game against the host Chicago Cubs.

Francona has missed the Guardians' last three games after being hospitalized for lightheadedness. He returned to Kauffman Stadium on Thursday to watch interim manager DeMarlo Hale guide the Guardians in their 4-3 loss in 10 innings to the Kansas City Royals.

Temperatures for Thursday's game in Kansas City were expected to reach 102 degrees, prompting the Guardians to play it safe with Francona.

Francona, 64, has a history of medical complications, including blood clot issues and gastrointestinal problems that limited him to 14 games in the 2020 season.
