Former New York Mets player Ron Darling will be making a return to broadcasting about a month after announcing his thyroid cancer diagnosis.
The SNY analyst revealed Monday via a statement on Twitter that his health is improving.
"My doctors have informed me that my thyroid cancer has been stabilized for now and that I have been cleared to return to work. The doctors will continue to closely monitor me over the next several months to assure my progress remains on the right track. I look forward to rejoining my partners Gary and Kieth in the SNY booth to call tomorrow night's Mets vs. San Francisco Giants game at Citi Field."
Darling pitched in the majors for 13 seasons, including eight-plus years with the Mets.
