Former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, who went to the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to be treated for an episode of shingles that sidelined him for a week during the Cardinals’ 2011 World Series run, has left the Chicago White Sox to return to the same clinic to be treated for an unspecified heart condition, according to a USA Today report. The report was confirmed by a second source. La Russa, 77, missed the first game of the White Sox’ series in Chicago against Kansas City and, before the start of the second game, traveled to Arizona on Wednesday night to undergo tests on Thursday, USA Today reported, citing a source who spoke on condition of anonymity. “But I think it’s going to be OK,” said a person familiar with the situation. “Tony says he feels great.” And Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, who played 11 seasons for La Russa in St. Louis, told Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold in Cincinnati that he had spoken with La Russa on Wednesday and that his former manager came across as good disposal.

La Russa, under fire in Chicago during his second season as manager as his team has fallen below .500, will be out indefinitely, according to the White Sox. According to the USA Today report, La Russa underwent further tests on Wednesday in Chicago and was told to see heart specialists in Arizona. La Russa, the oldest manager in the major leagues, has one year remaining on his three-year contract. Bench coach Miguel Cairo, who played for La Russa with the Cardinals, managed Tuesday’s game and was scheduled to do so again Wednesday night. “It’s incredibly tough,” outfielder Andrew Vaughn told Chicago reporters. “We really don’t have a lot of information about what’s going on.” La Russa’s absence Tuesday was announced about an hour before first pitch. The 2014 Hall of Famer showed no signs of health issues during his pregame session with reporters and while talking with general manager Rick Hahn and former Oakland Athletics star Dave Stewart before the game. La Russa was a controversial hire when he was given the job by White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf last year over Hahn’s reported objections. The White Sox won their division last year, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to eventual World Series runner-up Houston. But this season, the injury-plagued White Sox have been among baseball’s biggest disappointments, falling behind both Cleveland and Minnesota in the American Central race. La Russa is second only to Connie Mack all-time among major league managers with 2,884 wins. He won World Series titles with Oakland (1989) and the Cardinals in 2006 and 2011. La Russa also took two other Oakland teams to the World Series in 1988 and 1990 and one Cardinals team in 2004. He previously managed the White Sox from 1979-86, winning a division title in 1983. In his 16 seasons with the Cardinals, La Russa’s teams won division titles in 1996, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2009 and were wild-card qualifiers in 2001 and 2011 when they won the World Series Series. Two days after the end of the 2011 season, La Russa retired after 16 seasons with the Cardinals. He went to work for the commissioner’s office and then took over front office operations for the Arizona Diamondbacks before moving on to front-office consulting positions with the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels before returning to on-field duties with the White Sox.
