FAIRFIELD — Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Joe Nuxhall, in a Florida hospital because of blood clots and a return of lymphoma, is expected to be released Tuesday, according to his son.

Kim Nuxhall said today his dad is expected to be released today from Sarasota Memorial Hospital, but he will need to remain in Florida until late March.

Chemotherapy will start on Wednesday to treat the return of the lymphoma, which has appeared this time in one of the legs of the former pitcher and longtime Reds broadcaster. He will be able to return home after March 23, according to his son.

Joe Nuxhall was hospitalized last week after scheduled tests at the hospital showed blood clots in one of his lungs, his son said. Kim Nuxhall said the blood clots were caused by the return of his lymphoma.

"I talked with him last night and he's ready to get out," Kim Nuxhall said this afternoon. "They got the blood clot situation figured out."
