Darling's surgery for chest mass 'went well'

New York Mets announcer Ron Darling's surgery to remove a chest mass "went well," his SNY colleague Gary Cohen said during the Mets-Phillies broadcast on Tuesday.

Last Saturday, Darling, a longtime SNY analyst, said he had a "large mass in my chest" and that he hoped to return to the broadcast booth in May.

The 58-year-old Darling said a series of tests revealed the mass. He said doctors have told him that "if there are no complications I should be back on air talking baseball sometime next month."

The Mets said doctors had been monitoring Darling over the past few months.
