Remy had been missing from NESN Red Sox telecasts since April, taking a leave of absence to recover from depression spawned by his battle with lung cancer.

During a Red Sox game last week, Remy made a surprise visit to the broadcast booth, receiving a touching, standing ovation from the Fenway fans. The RemDawg said he hopes to return to the booth before the team's season ends.
