White Sox bench coach Miguel Cairo shows praise for Tony La Russa amidst his medical absence.
He claims he talked with Tony about Wednesday's lineup, which features shortstop Elvis Andrus taking on the lead-off spot. It also has Yasmani Grandal at the catcher position in his first game back from the left knee injury he sustained against the Cleveland Guardians.
"I cannot be Tony La Russa. He's a Hall of Famer. He's got a lot of rings," Cairo said."I learn so much from him. The way he handles himself, the way he handles the clubhouse, the players." "He's always been the same," Cairo said."He was fine yesterday. I talked to him today. He was fine. His doctors in Arizona got all the info about his medical. We will know later in the week what's going on."
"We're gonna be praying for him. I'm going to be praying for him that everything's fine," Cairo said."We gotta go out there and perform. We gotta go out there and play the way we're supposed to play. We're gonna do it for him. He really cares about this team. We got to do this for him."
