CHICAGO - Minnesota Twins third base coach Al Newman suffered a hemorrhage in his brain, but did not have an aneurysm as initially feared, tests showed Thursday.
Newman remained hospitalized in serious condition after being stricken Wednesday night.
Newman had an MRI exam Thursday and will remain in Chicago for one week as doctors monitor him, Twins spokesman Mike Herman said. There were plans to conduct more tests next Wednesday or Thursday, including a CAT scan and an angiogram, he said.
"They're on top of it, they're running a lot of tests, they're doing a lot of stuff, so he should be fine," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said
RED SOX: Right fielder Trot Nixon has a strained muscle in his left calf and is listed as day-to-day. He left in the second inning of Tuesday's game at Baltimore.
ATHLETICS: Bench coach Terry Francona was suspended for one game for an argument with umpires last week in Tampa Bay. He is expected to serve the suspension Saturday during the Athletics' game at Texas.
