Mancini and his family have asked for privacy as he recovers.

“The outpouring of love and support I have received has made an extremely tough week so much better,” said Mancini in a statement.

“I have the best family, friends, fans, and teammates imaginable. I am also eternally thankful for the Orioles’ front office, our athletic trainers, and the entire medical staff for everything they have done to help me during this time. Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their prayers and kind words, which have furthered my excitement to get back to playing the game I love.”

Orioles general manager Mike Elias added:

“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.”
