Wall of Famer John Kruk will be back on the air Friday. (Gregory Fisher/Icon Sportswire)Despite another rough loss, the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans did get some good news on Monday: Phillies Wall of Famer John Kruk is set to return to the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast booth for the upcoming weekend series against the Los Angeles Angels, according to a tweet from Kruk himself in response to an inquisitive fan.
Kruk underwent successful gallbladder surgery on May 23 before heading back home to Florida to recover. The 61-year-old has been off the air since joining Tom McCarthy and Ben Davis for a May 20 matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Philadelphia.
