Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis hit the bench Saturday with southpaw Mike Minor on the hill for the Rangers, but the first baseman's absence a day later is more surprising with a right-hander (Drew Hutchison) on the hill. Despite Davis' back-to-back benchings, manager Buck Showalter has made no indication the Orioles intend to go in a different direction at first base. Davis is slashing only .182/.333/.500 since the All-Star break, but that still translates to a 300-point increase in OPS from his season-long mark.

Davis is not starting Saturday against the Rangers, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is hitting .241 with three homers and a 1.026 OPS over his last eight games. Even that batting average counts as a major hot streak in a season in which he's hit .161 overall. Trey Mancini will play first base Saturday, with Joey Rickard playing left field.

Davis went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored and one walk in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Davis launched a solo home run in the first inning, and he blasted a two-run homer in the eighth to pad the lead. He went 2-for-9 over Baltimore's three-game weekend series, as the Orioles managed to sweep Tampa Bay. Despite a monster day at the dish, Davis is batting just .159 with 13 homers and 35 RBI through 88 games.

Davis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had started the last five games for the Orioles dating back to prior to the All-Star break, but will take a seat for the series finale with lefty J.A. Happ on the mound for the opposing Blue Jays. The month of July hasn't been kind to Davis, as he's mustered a .169 batting average, but that is still somehow an improvement from the prior three months.

Davis is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis went 2-for-10 with a double and two walks over Baltimore's last series with the Yankees. He'll get the day off with Trey Mancini penciled into the lineup at first base.

Davis is not starting the afternoon portion of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has homered in his last two games and four of his last 11. His .209 batting average and .756 OPS over that stretch are unremarkable at best, though it qualifies as a hot streak for Davis in a season in which he has a .157 average and a .510 OPS. Trey Mancini gets the call at first base Monday.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Davis recorded his ninth home run of the season in the ninth inning off Matt Magill. He has shown some signs of life since regaining his role as an everyday player by hitting five home runs, -- though he has gone just for 11-for-61 -- since June 22.

Davis was 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 loss at Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has continued to struggle since the extended absence to help fix his swing in mid-June, and is only 10-for-57 over 14 games, although he does have four home runs in that stretch. The 32-year-old still has significant work to do on his .155/.229/.269 slash line before becoming a reliable option, though the Orioles are likely to continue providing him opportunities.

Manager Buck Showalter said Davis will probably return to the starting lineup Friday against the Braves, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been working out some kinks in his swing and hasn't played since June 11 as a result, but it sounds like the first baseman is finally ready to rejoin the lineup. The 32-year-old struggled mightily before being benched -- hitting just .150 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate -- but the hope is that the time off, which he spent working with hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh, will help Davis get back on track at the dish. Davis still has a significant amount of money remaining on his contract, so the Orioles figure to give him ample chances to prove himself. He may not immediate reclaim a starting role, but Davis should eventually work his way back into the lineup on a regular basis, especially if he shows some offensive improvement.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that Davis could rejoin the Baltimore lineup at some point during the club's three-game series with the Nationals that begins Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After hitting .150 with a 37.6 percent strikeout rate over his first 57 appearances of the season, Davis has been on the bench for the past five games while he looks to retool his swing. The first baseman has been working extensively with hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh and vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson in the batting cage prior to games, but it's unclear if those sessions have actually been productive for Davis. With more than $80 million remaining on Davis' contract, the Orioles aren't willing to give up on him just yet, so expect the slugger to gradually work his way back into the lineup whether he deserves it or not.
