"Tribe bench coach Tim Tolman is being forced to vacate his position because of health concerns.

"It's not totally related to my health, but I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease two years ago," Tolman said Wednesday. "It has caused some slowness of movement that makes it harder for me to do some of the things I need to do."

Tolman is being treated at the Cleveland Clinic and takes medication daily to control the illness.

"It's time for me to step away and get a handle on this and make sure I continue to get the right treatment," he said. "The clinic has been doing a wonderful job.""
