Yankees announcer Murcer awaiting test results after undergoing brain biopsy

KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- New York Yankees broadcaster Bobby Murcer was resting in a Houston hospital after undergoing a brain biopsy Monday.

Results weren't expected until later in the week.

An
All-Star outfielder who played 17 seasons in the major leagues, Murcer
had surgery in December 2006 -- four days after being diagnosed with a
malignant brain tumor.

An MRI exam last week showed an area of
concern, which could be scar tissue or another tumor, so Murcer went
back to The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for
additional tests.

"Bobby is doing great and is resting
comfortably after this morning's biopsy," his wife, Kay, said in a
statement Monday through Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo. "He could be
released as early as tomorrow. Results won't be available until later
this week."
