SEATTLE -- Mariners manager Eric Wedge spent a second night in the hospital on Tuesday, while bench coach Robby Thompson took over as skipper for that evening's game against the Indians.

Wedge was taken to a hospital before Monday night's game because of a dizzy spell he experienced during batting practice. Players helped the manager from the dugout before team doctors checked him out.

"He's doing well, I had an opportunity to spend some time with him this morning," Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "I visited him and his wife, Kate, and he's doing well. He's in good spirits. But it's a little premature to say yet what the prognosis is going to be. More than anything else, as a precaution, they just want to keep him another evening as they get the results from the tests, which are ongoing."

Zduriencik said he didn't know the severity of Wedge's condition.
