Best wishes and a safe, speedy recovery, @RonDarlingJr.

If all goes well Ron hopes to be back to work in about a month. In his absence Todd Zeile will be filling in alongside Gary and Keith. 

All the best, Ronnie. YOU GOT THIS!

There’s nobody better than Ronnie. We’ll miss him for the next couple of weeks, but can’t wait to have him back in the booth soon...right where he belongs.

I can't say enough good things about @RonDarlingJr. He's the best in the world at what he does. He's one of the most caring people I've ever met, and I can't wait to see him back at the ballpark soon.

Of all the great people I was fortunate enough to meet this past decade with the @Mets, @RonDarlingJr is top of the charts in terms of humility, humanity and kindness... not to mention knowledge. Get better soon, Ronnie!
