Trey Mancini underwent successful surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his colon, according to the Baltimore Orioles.

The tumor was discovered last week during a colonoscopy and there is no timetable for Mancini's recovery.

"The outpouring of love and support I have received has made an extremely tough week so much better," Mancini said 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."

On Saturday, the Orioles announced Mancini had left the team to undergo what it called a "non-baseball medical procedure."
