Diamondbacks left-hander Doug Davis has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, team President Derrick Hall confirmed Friday afternoon.
Nothing more to say. :-(
Hall said Davis is planning to make his scheduled start at Chase Field tonight but will address the media at some point today, either before or after.
Davis is expected to make his next few starts, Hall said, before undergoing surgery sometime within the next three weeks.
"We're not sure about the timetable after that," Hall said. "We're deeply saddened and concerned for Doug but we're still in the process of collecting facts and applying that to timing."
