Girardi Misses Yanks Game With Illness
Quote:
|
After three games at the helm, Joe Girardi will hand over the managerial controls of the Yankees on Friday, confined to his office by an advancing upper respiratory infection. Bench coach Rob Thomson will manage the Yankees instead as the club opens a four-game weekend wraparound series with the Rays. The Yankees said that Girardi had slept most of the afternoon and is under heavy medication to battle a high fever.

"He's been behind closed doors because we don't want to affect everybody else," Thomson said. "He's doing fine."
Thomson said that he spoke with Girardi earlier in the day, but had not expected that Girardi would be unavailable. Thomson indicated he believed this would just be a one-day fill-in assignment. "I think it got a little bit worse as the day went on," Thomson said. "He wants to be out there, no question. If he's not going to make the bell, he's not feeling too good."
