Michael Kay’s return to YES booth delayed

The voice of the Yankees, Michael Kay, will be out another week to 10 days as he still needs more time to recover from vocal cord surgery.

Kay had hoped he could return to the YES booth and his ESPN New York afternoon radio show this Friday, but after a doctor’s visit on Wednesday, he was informed that he needed more time to heal.

“It is a precautionary measure,” YES’ president of programming and production John Filippelli said. “Without question, his health is first and foremost in my mind.”

Filippelli relayed there is optimism that Kay will return to full health and his voice should be fine.
