Reds manager Baker still sidelined

CINCINNATI — Dusty Baker won't manage the Cincinnati Reds until the final series in St. Louis, giving him time to recover from an irregular heartbeat and a mini-stroke suffered last week.

The 63-year-old manager was hospitalized for four days in Chicago because of an irregular heartbeat that he's had for some time.

He said in a statement released Tuesday that he also had a mini-stroke.

His cardiologists said his condition has "improved dramatically" and a full recovery is expected.

Bench coach Chris Speier will manage the team during a three-game series against Milwaukee at Great American Ball Park and a three-game series in Pittsburgh over the weekend.
