O's: Mancini needs 'non-baseball-related medical procedure'

In a gloomy season for the Baltimore Orioles last year, one of their few bright spots was Trey Mancini. Now they'll have to do without him for a while.

The big-hitting Mancini will undergo what the team is calling “a non-baseball-related medical procedure." Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Mancini “is going to miss some time."

The Orioles didn't provide any specifics on Mancini's situation or a timetable for his return.

Mancini hit .291 with 35 home runs and 97 RBIs last year as the O's went 54-108. He has played only five games this spring after earlier dealing with flu-like symptoms.

The 27-year-old outfielder/first baseman last played on March 2, but left the game after two at-bats.

“We love Trey, and we’re going to respect his privacy in this thing, and we’ll have more information as we know more,” Hyde said.

“We hate to see Trey miss time, but hopefully it’s not too long," he said.

Baltimore opens the season on March 26 at Camden Yards against the New York Yankees.
