Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg announced via Instagram on Tuesday that his cancer had returned and spread to other organs, forcing more "intensive treatment."
Sandberg, 65, was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2023, but then declared himself cancer free the following August after months of treatment. It made Tuesday's news all the more stunning.
