Jerry Remy

By Chad Finn, Boston.com Staff Red Sox color analyst Jerry Remy, who has missed the past five games with a sinus infection, will not return to the NESN booth for at least another week. In a statement issued this morning, the network said Remy and NESN "have decided to have him take the next week off to give him the best chance to fully recover. " The target date for Remy to return to the booth is Thursday, May 10, when the Red Sox return from a road trip to begin a four-game series against the Indians.

Jerry Remy wrote on Twitter earlier today that he will call Thursday night's game with Don Orsillo on NESN. Remy, 59, has missed the last 11 games with a sinus infection. Dennis Eckersley and Peter Gammons filled in for Remy for the majority of the games. This marked the third season in the past four that Remy has been absent because of illness. NESN said he had a sinus infection and last week decided he would take another week off to better recover. The complicated back story regarding Remy's health is well-known, but it's impossible to avoid any time he is ailing.

The reaction to tuning in to a NESN Red Sox telecast and realizing someone other than Jerry Remy is handling the color is practically second nature by now. First: "Who's this with Don Orsillo? Where's Jerry?" Then: "I hope he's OK. " The pattern has become all too familiar in recent seasons as Remy, the former second baseman who has developed a large and loyal following during his 25 years as an incisive and sometimes droll commentator on Red Sox broadcasts, has dealt with health matters that have caused him to miss portions of the schedule.

Before last night's game against the Cleveland Indians, Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo stood alone in NESN's broadcast booth at Fenway Park. Orsillo began the telecast with stunning news about the protracted absence of his broadcast partner, Jerry Remy. "Many have asked about my partner and friend, Jerry Remy, and tonight we learn the news," Orsillo began. "Jerry will take a leave of absence for an indefinite period to recover from cancer surgery. " Orsillo read a statement from the ailing Remy, 56, who had missed six games already.

Six full baseball seasons have come and gone since Sean McDonough’s acrimonious departure as the play-by-play voice of Red Sox television broadcasts, a position he held with a distinction worthy of iconic predecessors such as Curt Gowdy and Ned Martin for 17 years. Since that day in December 2004, when a reporter’s phone call informed him that NESN would not pick up the option on his contract, McDonough has been out of mind to a segment of Red Sox fans. But he was never out of sight to well-rounded sports fans, having maintained a steady presence at ESPN, where his...

As Brad Penny walked off the field, failure in his wake, boos suffused the hot, sticky air in Fenway Park. He had just begun a meltdown that was far from over, an utter disaster of a game that damaged the Red Sox’ chances of inserting themselves back into the division race. It erased the memory of a just-finished sweep over clearly inferior competition, and left the Sox 7 1/2 games behind in the American League East. In a game that started as a lovefest with the return of Jerry Remy to the NESN booth, the disappointment grew quickly.
