Former Yankees star Graig Nettles will be released from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Thursday after undergoing a six-hour operation Tuesday for prostate cancer, agent Tim O'Neill said today.

Nettles, 63, was diagnosed in November but decided to delay the surgery until after serving his annual stint as a spring-training instructor.

"He's resting comfortably," said O'Neill, of Morristown. "He'll be back home (in Tennessee) on Friday. He's very positive, upbeat."
