The Reds are going to take some more time and a closer look at the lower back pain that resulted in Tyler Stephenson being scratched from a game.

In Boston, where Francona managed for eight seasons, he helped the Red Sox break the Curse of the Bambino and win the franchise's first World Series in 86 years back in 2004. That was his first season as the Red Sox manager, and Francona would lead the Red Sox to another World Series title in 2007 along with three other playoff appearances.

Terry Francona has dedicated much of his life to America’s Pastime, playing in the big leagues for nearly a decade before crafting a Hall of Fame career as a manager. It has come at a great cost, though.
