MEXICO CITY -- The manager of a Mexican professional baseball team has been found hours after he was reported missing by his club and league officials.

Guanajuato state chief prosecutor Carlos Zamarripa announced via Twitter that Francisco "Paquin" Estrada had been located by state authorities.

He said Estrada was "unharmed" but did not give further details Thursday.

Estrada is the 69-year-old manager of Bravos de Leon. Earlier a Mexican League spokesman said the last known contact with Estrada had been Tuesday night.

Estrada appeared in a single major league game for the New York Mets in 1971, collecting one hit in two at-bats, according to MLB.
