The Los Angeles Dodgers announced former manager Tommy Lasorda was released from the hospital and is resting comfortably at home. Orel Hershiser was first to relay the news, doing so during Sunday’s broadcast on Spectrum SportsNet LA. The club then confirmed the report on Twitter.

Lasorda underwent surgery last week to replace his pacemaker. Reports of Lasorda being hospitalized first surfaced on May 20. Details at the time were kept private. It was his third hospital stay since August 2016.

Lasorda was taken to the hospital and required 12 stitches after a fall at a memorabilia show in Atlantic City last August. Then in October, he was hospitalized for 10 days due to shoulder back issues.

Lasorda missed the Dodgers home games during the 2016 National League Division Series but returned for the NL Championship Series.

He managed the Dodgers for 21 seasons, which included World Series titles in 1981 and 1988, and has long attended home games since retiring.

Lasorda is currently holds the title of special advisor to Dodgers chairman Mark Walter. He was named vice president in 1996, then interim general manager in June 1998. Lasorda relinquished that role in September 1998 when he was promoted to senior vice president.

When the former manager will next visit Chavez Ravine remains unknown. Los Angeles begins a seven-game road trip on Monday. Lasorda was on hand for the unveiling of Vin Scully’s plaque in the Dodger Stadium ring of honor.
