Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona revealed Wednesday he underwent multiple surgeries over the last few months, which cost him most of the shortened 2020 season.

Francona only managed 14 games for the Indians before Sandy Alomar Jr. took over. The Indians made the playoffs but were eliminated in the American League Wild Card round by the New York Yankees.

The details behind Francona’s absence weren’t fully explained until he spoke to reporters this week. He said he was in intensive care at the Cleveland Clinic while the Indians were making a run.

“It was kind of a rough time,” the 61-year-old said. “For a couple weeks, there I was not just away from the game, I was away from everything. It was getting a little hairy there.”

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona underwent three surgeries in four days and spent time in the ICU while he was away from the team in 2020.

Francona, 61, addressed his health issues Wednesday, explaining he originally had a procedure for a gastrointestinal issue, but needed additional surgeries after developing blood clots.

Francona managed just 12 of the team’s 60 regular season games due to his health issues. He did not return in time for the postseason. Cleveland played two postseason games, losing to the New York Yankees in the wild-card round.

Indians brass have spent the last two days talking to the media, and on Wednesday it was manager Terry Francona’s turn to speak about what was a tough year physically for the 61-year-old.

Francona’s health was such that he was only able to manage the team for 14 games, and he spent more time in the Cleveland Clinc during the 2020 season than he did managing the club.

“When you’re the manager, there’s a lot of people who depend on you. I felt guilty not being able to hold up my part of the bargain,” Francona said to the media on Wednesday.

“That was weighing on me mentally, as well as the physical stuff.”

The good news for the Indians manager is despite the rumors, he will be back for the 2021 season, and if all goes as planned, he’ll be there from day one of spring training all the

CLEVELAND — Indians manager Terry Francona revealed he underwent several surgeries in a four-day span and required an extended stay in intensive care while dealing with major health issues that sidelined him for most of the 2020 season.

Francona missed 48 of Cleveland’s 62 games during the pandemic-shortened season. He initially underwent an operation for a gastrointestinal problem in August that had bothered him for a year.

That was followed by blood clotting that led to more operations and him being admitted to the Cleveland Clinic.

“It was kind of a tough time,” the 61-year-old Francona said Wednesday on a Zoom call from his home in Arizona. “I don’t want to go through that again.”

Francona hopes to manage next season, which would be his ninth with the Indians. He’ll revisit with doctors in seven weeks to gauge his progress.

In the meantime, he needs to get stronger and has
