Davis (hand) is not in the Orioles' lineup Wednesday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Davis departed Tuesday's game with soreness in his palm, an ailment he admitted has been bothering him since early in the season. While Davis said Tuesday that he expected to play Wednesday, he'll be held out of the lineup as the Orioles attempt to avoid further aggravating the palm issue. Steve Pearce will get the start at first base Wednesday.

Davis, who left Tuesday's game with a sore left palm, said the ailment has been bothering him since April and expects to be in the lineup Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun's Eduardo Encina reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is not the type of player who would ask to get a game off, so it's not surprising that he expects to be in Wednesday's lineup. However, his owners would be wise to check back on his status prior to Wednesday's game, as the O's have a more than competent replacement option against southpaw Drew Smyly in righty hitting Steve Pearce.

Davis left Tuesday's game due to a sore left palm, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team is saying Davis left as a precaution, so it sounds like there is a chance he could play Wednesday. He left after striking out in the fifth inning, so it's possible he could have irritated the palm when he fouled off the first pitch of that at-bat. Considering lefty Drew Smyly is on the hill for the Rays on Wednesday, Steve Pearce would be the obvious choice to get the start at first base if Davis needs a day off.

Davis left Tuesday's game against the Rays after striking out to lead off the fifth inning, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kubatko speculated that Davis may have felt something on a swing in the at-bat and could have been removed as a precaution, as the Orioles were already up 7-2. The team has not announced a specific injury with Davis, and his status will be updated if a specific reason for why he was pulled early Tuesday gets reported.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Orioles' win over the Rays on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The slugger is enjoying a strong start to the month of September, collecting six hits, two home runs, and five RBI in four games. Davis has been something of a disappointment after hitting .262 with 47 home runs a season ago, but still is among the league leaders with 34 homers this year.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 8-0 victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger took reliever Nick Goody deep in the second, blasting a 413-foot shot that plated Manny Machado as part of a five-run inning. However, the round-tripper is notably Davis' only hit over his last five games, a span of 17 at-bats.

Davis went 2-for-3 with three RBI by homering twice in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Crush Davis's first blast was a no-doubter over the center field wall, and his second was a pull shot to the upper deck. While the 30-year-old leads the majors in strikeouts (on pace for 220), and owns the fifth-lowest average (.227), he continues to get on base at a decent rate (.340) and, most significantly, is on pace to hit 40 homers (tied for sixth-most in MLB) with 90 RBI.

Davis went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Davis' eighth-inning solo shot just padded a big lead, but it does give him six long balls in the last seven games. Baltimore's cleanup hitter has smacked 189 homers since 2012, so this is far from an isolated incident. While repeating last year's 47-homer campaign was always going to be tough, it's hard to complain about Davis hitting 30 out of the park for the fourth time in five years.

Davis went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and walk in Saturday's 12-2 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger is on a considerable long-ball tear, now having gone deep in four straight contests. Despite a tough season at the plate overall batting average-wise, Davis is on the cusp of hitting at least 30 homers for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 15-8 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger contributed to the Orioles' four-homer attack in the first inning by blasting the longest shot of the bunch, a 450-foot shot to right that came on the heels of a two-run bomb by Manny Machado. Davis now has homers in three straight games and has hit four overall during that span.
