During the 4th inning of Saturday nights broadcast, Ron Daring revealed that doctors have found a large mass in his chest that will require surgery to be removed. Ron didn't go in to much further detail, but said he'll "kick it's you know what".
Best wishes and a safe, speedy recovery, @RonDarlingJr.

Statement from Fred and Jeff Wilpon:
“Our thoughts and prayers continuously remain with Ron for a full recovery and we look forward to seeing him back in the broadcast booth soon.” pic.twitter.com/cjOCveFSqO
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!

We'll be spending Opening Weekend in Houston! Hopefully you'll be one of the 1,300 Mets fans kicking the season off with us in Texas! The Astros didn't have enough availability to fit us for Opening Day, so we locked up 1,300 tickets to game 2 of the season on March 29th.
