CHRIS DAVIS NEWS

Getting back checked by doctors Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Davis is continuing to experience back soreness and remains without a timeline to return to action, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com re...

Impact Hyde said that Davis will soon visit a specialist for further evaluation on his back injury -- a worrisome sign for the 34-year-old's chances of making a expedient return. Davis had already appeared to be on the outside looking in for an everyday role with the Orioles entering spring training, so the injury only further hinders his chances of finding steady at-bats during the regular season.

Battling back strain Davis is considered day-to-day with a lower-back strain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The veteran suffered the injury on a swing Sunday. He doesn't appear to be seriously hurt, but the Mariners have no reason not to be cautious with him this early in the spring. Even if fully healthy, however, there's no guarantee Davis will play a significant role this season, as the Orioles aren't likely to give many at-bats to a 35-year-old player who's hit just .169/.251/.299 over the last three years.

Turns in full workout Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Davis (kneecap) was a full participant in Monday's workout, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Davis doesn't look like he'll face any restrictions this spring after he finished the 2020 season on the injured list due to left patellar tendinitis. Though he has two years remaining on the seven-year, $161 million deal he signed in January 2016, Davis won't be assured a regular role in 2021 coming off yet another disastrous season at the dish. Since inking the massive contract, Davis has delivered a .196/.291/.379 slash line (79 wRC+) in 2,118 plate appearances.

Will have to earn at-bats Davis (kneecap) isn't guaranteed a role next season and will have to earn his at-bats, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Davis' performance hit yet another low in 2020, as he hit a miserable .115/.164/.173. That came in a small sample of just 55 plate appearances, however, as he battled knee issues for most of the campaign. The Orioles seem to be treating Davis' big contract (which still has two years left to run) as fully a sunk cost at this point and will prefer to give the majority of the playing time at first base and designated hitter to younger options. Davis already had hardly any value even in deep fantasy formats when he had a guaranteed role, so he can be almost completely written off as he falls down the depth chart.

Returns to injured list Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list with left knee patellar tendinitis Monday.

Impact Davis was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, but he'll be sidelined once again with the same issue that kept him out for nearly three weeks earlier in the season. With just under two weeks remaining in the regular season, it's unclear whether Davis will be able to return in 2020. Austin Hays (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Lands on injured list Davis was placed on the 10-day injured list with left patella tightness, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact It's not yet clear how much time Davis is expected to miss. His loss won't be a particularly significant one for the Orioles, as he's hitting just .122/.173/.184 through 52 plate appearances this season, considerably worse than his quite poor numbers from the previous two campaigns. Ryan Mountcastle was recalled in a corresponding move.
