Francona has been having stomach issues since the original spring training in February. It is not thought to be related to COVID-19.

The Indians play against the Reds in Cincinnati both Monday and Tuesday, with Francona apparently likely to miss those games. The Reds travel to Cleveland for back-to-back games there on Wednesday and Thursday, which may be the next time we see the Indians manager in the dugout depending on how his tests go.
