There was significant concern earlier this week when news broke that Pablo Sandoval was hospitalized in Venezuela with abdominal discomfort.

Michael Sandoval, Pablo's brother, provided some details on Thursday afternoon.

"Pablo had been diagnosed with colitis, but he is expected to return to his Winter League club soon. Sandoval had been playing for Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan League. According to the club's official twitter account, Sandoval could return to the team within 24 to 48 hours," according to the San Jose Mercury News.
