Did Dave Sandler get detoured from WBAL?

For the past few weeks I have heard Dave Sandler's understudy Tamara Nelson do traffic reports on WBAL, instead of Detour Dave himself. What gives? Has Sandler left TV Hill? Sorry, I don't have time right now to search DCRTV.

I take it Dave has recovered from open-heart surgery? I haven't seen that mentioned on R-I and to be fair, I haven't listened extensively to 1090 in several months, having lost practically all identification with the Western Shore.

Heart Surgery For BAL's "Detour Dave"
WBAL radio traffic reporter "Detour Dave" Sandler collapsed Sunday afternoon on a Baltimore area ballfield. And he will be undergoing heart bypass surgery at the University Of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore. From his hospital bed, Sandler told DCRTV that he blacked out while rounding third base to score the winning run for his amateur softball team, the Kings. It just so happened that cardiologist Scott Katzen is also a member of the team. Katzen came to Sandler's aid until the ambulance arrived.

If Sandler's recovered, praise God. :)
