Baltimore Orioles slugger Trey Mancini doesn't expect to play in 2020 if the season does happen amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mancini was diagnosed with colon cancer in March and had a malignant tumor removed. The 28-year-old wrote Tuesday in a piece for the Players' Tribune that he has stage 3 colon cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
"My treatment will take six months—every two weeks for six months," Mancini said. "If baseball returns in 2020, it will probably be without me."
He first became aware of an issue during spring training when blood tests showed he had low iron levels. Mancini wrote that while his father was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer at the age of 58 in 2011, he didn't expect to have colon cancer at his relatively young age.
