BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- As Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini continues to battle stage three colon cancer, his teammates are sharing a message of support.

On Saturday, the team posted photos on Twitter of players holding up signs reading "F16HT," combining the word fight with Mancini's number.

Mancini, 27, was diagnosed with colon cancer in early March after doctors found a tumor during a colonoscopy. On April 13, he began chemotherapy, he said.
