Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona will be heading for surgery this offseason.
Francona said Tuesday that he's had a back problem and hasn't had full feeling in his arms since May. He hopes to get that fixed this winter so he can be ready for spring training.
Francona isn't the only member of the Red Sox who needs to recuperate.
Third baseman Mike Lowell had surgery Monday; pitcher Curt Schilling is looking toward a midseason comeback; and David Ortiz needs to rest his left wrist.
