Update announced on Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez after latest medical issues
An update was just announced regarding Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez as he is currently dealing with some medical issues.
Martinez has been missing quite a bit of time this season due to scheduled time off but that ended up being extended due to some medical issues he has been having which is why he missed the Canada Day series against the New York Yankees.
update announced on Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez
Fans have been excited to get Martinez back in the booth which was supposed to happen at the beginning of July but after the latest update, it looks like they will have to wait a bit longer.
After the latest update, Martinez is dealing with some medical issues and it looks like a time for his return is still not known but the details of his current problems have yet to be announced.
The absence of popular analyst Buck Martinez will continue into the home stand as the long-time Jays broadcaster attends to some medical issues. -Longley
However, Martinez seems to be in good spirits and is still following the team as he deals with his on going issues.
Martinez remains in good cheer and is certainly following the team closely as he recuperates during his latest absence and its hard not to root for one of the best in the business to make a speedy return. -Longley
As Martinez continues to recover, Joe Siddall will continue to stand in alongside Dan Shulman until Martinez is feeling healthy and ready to return beginning with the game tonight against the San Francisco Giants.
In the meantime, Joe Siddall will continue to work the bulk of the games alongside play-by-play voice Dan Shulman. That pair will be in the booth for the six-game homestand that gets under way on Friday. -Longley
The sad truth in all of this is that Martinez might not have much time left as a broadcaster for the Blue Jays with all of health issues but the good news is that fans have been loving Siddall in his abscence.
Hopefully Martinez will have a fast recovery and will back in the booth within the next few weeks.
