Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg Announces Cancer Relapse and Intensified Treatment

The former Chicago Cubs star revealed his prostate cancer has returned and spread to other organs, requiring more intensive medical care.

Ryne Sandberg, 65, shared on Instagram that his prostate cancer, initially diagnosed in January 2024, has relapsed and spread to other organs.
Sandberg was declared cancer-free in August after undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments earlier this year.
The Baseball Hall of Famer expressed his determination to remain positive and continue fighting the disease with the support of his family and fans.
Sandberg is widely regarded as one of the greatest second basemen in MLB history, earning 10 All-Star selections, a 1984 MVP award, and nine Gold Gloves during his 16-year career.
Cubs owner Tom Ricketts called Sandberg an inspiration to cancer survivors, emphasizing his resilience and champion spirit as he begins a new phase of treatment.
