Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (hip) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Davis missed just 10 days with hip inflammation. He'll bat seventh and play first base versus lefty Drew Smyly. Davis is hitting .171/.257/.318, so go ahead and avoid him in just about every format.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (hip) expects to return to the team when his 10-day injured list stint is up. That means that Davis would forego a rehab assignment in the minor leagues. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter has been one of the worst hitters in baseball this year, going 22-for-129 (.171) with five homers and 17 RBI while striking out 57 times and walking just 13 times. He can bring occasional pop but shouldn't be owned in any mixed leagues at this point. Trey Mancini h[...]

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Chris Davis (hip) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with hip soreness that manager Brandon Hyde said surfaced in the last few days. Reliever Evan Phillips was called up from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Davis was recently in an 11-game slump while hitting .118 (4-for-34) with 22 strikeouts. In 129 at-bats in 2019, Davis is hitting .171/.257/.318 with five home runs, 11 runs and 17 RBI. The power is still there, but he's way too inconsi[...]

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is expected to sit out of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Davis sat out on Friday in an NL-park against a right-handed pitcher. The O's face a lefty starter on Saturday in Kyle Freeland, so Davis should be on the bench once again. Trey Mancini should draw the start at first base and be a popular DFS choice for Saturday.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The O's are in an NL park, so they won't have a designated hitter in this contest. Trey Mancini will bat third and play first base versus righty Jeff Hoffman. Mancini is a fantastic DFS option for Friday against Hoffman who had an ERA of 7 plus in the minors. Mancini is in the heart of the order and is crushing the ball this season.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis is not in Wednesday's lineup against Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Even with Sale struggling overall this year, Davis notably has as well, so it makes sense he's sitting out against a left-hander. Trey Mancini is at first base batting third and Renato Nunez has designated hitter duty and is batting fourth. DFS players can do better than using any Orioles against Sale.
