SPRING TRAINING BASEBALL ROUNDUP
Orioles' Mancini will miss time
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.

Yankees 7, Pirates 4
Gio Urshela had an RBI single for New York.
