Colvin is in stable condition, and there was minimal external bleeding as a result of the bat head, but it did puncture the wall of his chest. Sutures were required on the wound, and a tube was inserted in the area to prevent his lungs from collapsing.
He will remain in the hospital for at least the next two to three days for observation.
Colvin issued a statement Monday morning through the Cubs.
"I want to thank Cubs fans for their support all season, especially right now, and let everyone know that I'm doing OK," said Colvin. "I also want to thank everyone who has helped take care of me here in Miami -- the Cubs and Marlins training and medical staffs, the EMTs at the ballpark and everyone here at the hospital.
"You never want to have a season end early, and I'm disappointed that I'm not going to be able to make it through the finish line with the rest of my teammates. That being said, I couldn't be more thankful for the Cubs organization, my teammates and the opportunity to play for Cubs fans my rookie season. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
