Three-time World Series Champion Curt Schilling will rejoin ESPN and resume his MLB analyst role starting with Thursday’s 10 p.m. ET edition of Baseball Tonight (ESPN2). Schilling will appear on the set with ESPN MLB Insiders Buster Olney, Tim Kurkjian, Jayson Stark and Keith Law from the Baseball Tonight studio at ESPN’s Bristol, Conn. campus.
In addition, Schilling will discuss his recent cancer battle in a special interview with Karl Ravech on tonight’s (Tuesday) 6 p.m. edition of SportsCenter.
The interview will also be shown during tonight’s midnight edition of Baseball Tonight on ESPN2 and it will be available on ESPN.com’s MLB section. Schilling announced he had cancer earlier this year.
Phil Orlins, ESPN senior coordinating producer, on Schilling’s return: “We are ecstatic to have Curt’s passionate and insightful commentary back on our baseball coverage, but most importantly, we are all thrilled to see Curt healthy and strong again.”
Schilling joined ESPN as a Baseball Tonight analyst in 2010. During the 2013 Baseball Winter Meetings, ESPN announced Schilling had been added to the Sunday Night Baseball booth, alongside Dan Shulman and John Kruk. He will return to the road for Sunday Night Baseball as soon as he is comfortable.
