Trey Mancini had successful surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his colon, the Orioles announced March 12.
The Orioles had initially said March 7 that Mancini left the team to undergo a “non-baseball medical procedure” without offering any specifics. The club revealed March 12 the tumor was discovered last week during a colonoscopy.
The Orioles won’t know lab results and Mancini’s timetable for a return until next week, but their main concern is his ongoing health.
“We are doing everything in our power to ensure Trey recovers fully, and we can’t wait to see him back on the field as soon as possible,” Orioles general manager Mike Elias said in a statement.
