PHILADELPHIA - June 27, 2013

Darren Daulton has revealed that he has two brain tumors.

Action News has learned the 51-year-old former Phillies catcher is in intensive care in the hospital and one of the tumors is said to be inoperable.

Dutch hadn't been feeling well the past couple weeks, went to the doctor, and the tumors were discovered.

Surgery is scheduled for early next week to remove the other tumor.
