June Manuel, who lived in Buena Vista, Va., suffered a heart attack on Tuesday.
Charlie Manuel was on the field for batting practice but canceled his scheduled pregame news conference on Friday afternoon. He was still with the team as the 4:35 p.m. ET game time approached. It appeared likely that he would go to Virginia at some point and rejoin the team in Los Angeles for Sunday's Game 3.
June Manuel raised 11 children, with Charlie the third oldest. Charlie's father, Charles Sr., passed away at 43, when Charlie was 19.
