Beloved broadcaster Jerry Remy, sidelined since May while dealing with the effects of cancer treatments and depression, will make his return to the NESN booth for tomorrow night’s game.

He only plans to announce on a part-time basis for the rest of the year, but Red Sox [team stats] fans would agree - some Remy is better than none.

“I want to thank NESN, the Red Sox and all of Red Sox Nation for their incredible level of support,” Remy said in a statement. “I’m really looking forward to getting back to work and doing the job that I miss terribly.”

Remy has been a fixture at NESN since 1988, winning four Emmy awards, as well as being named Massachusetts Sportscaster of the Year in 2004.

A parade of fill-ins have warmed his seat next to play-by-play partner Don Orsillo, with Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley the standout, but there’s only one RemDog.

“We are thrilled that Jerry is ready to get back in the booth this week,” said NESN president Sean McGrail. “He is an important part of the NESN family and we are all very happy that he will be back in his familiar spot next to Don Orsillo on Friday.”
