In his pre-game press conference, Red Sox manager 
John Farrell announced that he has lymphoma. He also stated that the disease is localized and "highly curable". It was discovered during hernia surgery earlier this week. He will begin treatment right away and 
Torey Lovullo will manage the Red Sox for remainder of 2015. All of us at 
FenwayNation send our best wishes to John and hope he quickly gets on the road to full health.
