Yankees’ Strawberry Has Second Operation
New York Yankee outfielder Darryl Strawberry was in stable condition in a New York hospital after undergoing a second operation for cancer Monday.
Doctors said they were “optimistic for an uneventful recovery,” a hospital statement said.
The four-man surgical team removed an “isolated tumor mass” near Strawberry’s left kidney. He had surgery for colon cancer in 1998.
