Ron Darling took a leave of absence from the SNY Mets broadcast in April to undergo surgery to remove a mass from his chest. On Monday, he announced he was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer.
"My doctors have said they are optimistic that the cancer is treatable and that I would be back on air talking baseball in the next month or so," Darling's statement reads. "I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their continued support."
Darling pitched 13 years in MLB and spent almost nine of those with the Mets.
