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.¡±
¡°We are doing everything in our power to ensure Trey recovers fully, and we can't wait to see him back on the field as soon as possible,¡± said Orioles Executive Vice President and General Manager Mike Elias.
