Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully won’t call the Dodgers’ series opener against the San Diego Padres on Friday night, marking the fourth consecutive game he’ll miss because of a cold.
But the 84-year-old Scully’s condition is improving and he could return to the booth as early as this weekend, according to a team spokesman.
In Scully’s absence, Charley Steiner and Steve Lyons will continue to call the games on Prime Ticket. Rick Monday and Kevin Kennedy will work the radio broadcasts on AM 570.
