The Boston Red Sox have announced that post-treatment testing has revealed John Farrell is in remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Farrell, 53, went on medical leave on Aug. 14 after the cancer was discovered during hernia surgery.

"I am extremely thankful for the outpouring of support I have received from the Red Sox, my family, friends, and fans throughout this process," Farrell said in a statement. "I am also especially thankful for the talented doctors who cared for me in Detroit and here at [Massachusetts General Hospital]. I look forward to getting back to work and bringing another championship back to Boston."

The Red Sox announced earlier in October that Farrell will return as manager in 2016.
