Davis went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs against the Astros on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The last two months haven't been kind to Davis, as he entered Thursday's contest slashing .172/.306/.313 since July 1. With two home runs against Houston, the 30-year-old now has five home runs this month. His power seems to be on the rise again, but fantasy owners may have a hard time trusting him going forward.

Davis will hit sixth in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Eduardo Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has not hit lower than fifth all season, but he is just 8-for-64 (.125) with 27 strikeouts since the All-Star break, so manager Buck Showalter decided to change things up Saturday in hopes of getting one of his top sluggers back on track.

Davis went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts Tuesday, extending his hitting slump to 0-for-24 since July 16.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has 11 strikeouts over the same stretch. He was slowed last week by the flu and that might have come into play when he returned in time for the weekend. While Davis has had a hard time with contact this season, he is walking 13.5 percent of the time, the highest of his career.

This will be the third consecutive game Davis misses due to illness.

Davis (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
A case of the flu will keep Davis on the shelf for another game Tuesday. Ryan Flaherty will take over in Davis' spot at first base and bat ninth in the order against Nathan Eovaldi. Davis' next chance to return to the order will come Wednesday when the Orioles face Michael Pineda.

Davis stayed at his hotel during Monday's game due to illness, Rich Dubroff of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Buck Showalter thought Davis might be available on Monday to pinch hit, but instead Davis elected to stay home and rest. This was likely just precautionary, as he was said to be feeling much better on Monday, but his availability for Tuesday's game against the Yankees is still in question.

Davis is out of the lineup Monday due to an illness, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis checked into a local hospital Sunday night with a virus, but he's said to be doing much better Monday. Manager Buck Showalter went as far as to tell the media that there's a chance Davis could be available as a pinch hitter, but at this point his status remains firmly up in the air. Ryan Flaherty will get the starting nod at first base.

Davis is not in the lineup Monday against the Yankees, Rich Dubroff of CSN Mid Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It looks like nothing more than a scheduled day off for Davis, though it comes at an odd time just days removed from the All-Star break. Regardless, the O's will go with Ryan Flaherty at first base, and he'll hit ninth in the order.
