Davis (forearm) recorded a single and an RBI across three at-bats in the Orioles' 5-4 loss to the Mets in Sunday's Grapefruit League game.

EDGE Analysis

In addition, Davis logged six innings at first base in his first game action with the Orioles in over two weeks after the team held him out while he recovered from a sore right forearm. With an injection having done its part to reduce the soreness in his arm, Davis looks like he'll enter the upcoming campaign with a clean bill of health. Though he won't join the Orioles for their game Monday against the Tigers, Davis will instead play in a minor-league contest in order to pick up more at-bats than would be possible in the Grapefruit League.

Davis (forearm) will lead off for the Orioles and play first base in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com, manager Buck Showalter is electing to deploy Davis as the leadoff man in order to get the slugger more at-bats after Davis had been held out spring action for more than two weeks with right forearm soreness. Davis is also expected to get some more swings in during a minor-league game Monday, which should help the 32-year-old catch up with the rest of the Baltimore regulars before Opening Day.

Davis (forearm) will return to the lineup Sunday against the Mets, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been battling arm soreness since late February. He believes he could return Saturday but the team remains cautious and doesn't intend to bring him back until Sunday. Barring any setbacks, the veteran slugger should be ready to go by Opening Day.

Davis (forearm) is feeling much better and hopes to get into game action Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

He participated fully in baseball activities Friday and noted that there is still enough time for him to be ready to go for Opening Day. This is a situation that we will continue to monitor, but all signs are pointing to Davis being ready to go for the start of the regular season.

Davis (forearm) swung with his top (left) hand Monday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The plan at this point is for the slugger to swing with both hands Tuesday. This will ideally have him on track to return to action this weekend, but a formal return timetable should emerge after news about how his injured right forearm reacts to the increased activity.

Davis said Sunday that his right elbow/forearm feels much better after he received an injection Saturday to address soreness, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles are shutting down Davis through Monday in order for the shot to take full effect, but it sounds like the first baseman is already experiencing relief after noting that he had plateaued in his recovery while waiting for the soreness and inflammation in his forearm to subside. Davis, who hasn't played in a Grapefruit League game since March 2, said that he expects to return to the lineup soon, though the Orioles will presumably reassess the veteran's condition Tuesday before determining when he'll be able to play again.

Davis received a cortisone injection Saturday morning in order to speed up the healing process of his sore right forearm, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Buck Showalter said that Davis should be back participating in baseball activities by early next week and added that this injection won't delay his return in any way. The slugger has been dealing with forearm soreness since late February. Barring any setback, it still appears as though Davis will be up to full speed by the time Opening Day rolls around, but this is a situation to monitor over the next couple weeks.

Davis (forearm) will resume baseball activities early next week, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been battling forearm soreness since late February. He underwent an MRI which revealed no structural damage, though it's now been a week since he last appeared in a Grapefruit League game and it will be a few more days until he resumes baseball activities. This could just be the Orioles being overly cautious with their veteran slugger, though it's worth monitoring to make sure he will in fact by ready by Opening Day as initially expected.

Davis (forearm) will not appear in Baltimore's Grapefruit League game Thursday or Friday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis continues to work his way back from a sore right forearm that first cropped up last Tuesday. Earlier this week, Davis said that the forearm felt "much better" and that he expected to resume throwing soon, but the Orioles are remaining cautious with their first baseman with Opening Day still over 20 days away.

Davis said Tuesday that his sore right forearm feels "much better" and that he considers his injury a day-to-day concern, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is out of Baltimore's lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins and may not return to spring action for a few more days, but his injury doesn't look to be anything that will hinder him in his preparation for Opening Day. Though Davis has a pair of 45-plus-homer seasons on his resume, his poor strikeout rates have made him a batting-average sinkhole in three of the last four campaigns. Davis' contact issues aren't likely to take a dramatic turn for the better as he enters his age-32 season.
