SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — More than a year removed from managing his last game with the White Sox in 2022, Tony La Russa is feeling well and healthy and staying involved in the organization as a senior adviser.

‘‘That type of experience is invaluable in the team-building aspect with so many little pieces that go into a major-league club,’’ first-year general manager Chris Getz said Tuesday. ‘‘There is going to be mentoring with some of our minor-league coaches and our players, as well. He’s an asset. I’m going to take advantage of [having] him.’’
