Keith Hernandez Health Update: Is He Sick?...
media3.dirshu.co.ilI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news right now. Here’s a concise update based on recent public reporting:
- Keith Hernandez, the former Mets first baseman and longtime SNY broadcaster, returned to the broadcast booth in May 2026 after undergoing back surgery in April 2026 for a bulging disc. Reports note the surgery was a four-hour procedure and that he appeared in Colorado on May 4 to resume duties.[2][3]
- In early 2026, there were discussions about his contract and schedule with SNY, including a reduced game load to align with his recovery and aging, with a three-year deal extending through 2028 and a plan to modestly scale back his on-air responsibilities.[3]
