Davis went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and a grand slam in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The homer was his second in as many days, eighth in June and 18th of the year. Davis' home runs tend to come in bunches, so he could be set for a big finish to what's already been his best month of the season.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger is putting together his best month yet this season, with Friday's production bringing his June line to a solid .268/.393/.592. Davis has been doing a little bit of virtually everything this month, with 11 extra-base hits (5 doubles, six homers) supplemented by 13 walks. He needs a homer and RBI apiece to equal his season-best April totals in those categories, and has brought his average up 14 points overall to .234 since June 1.

Davis went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, three runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
It was just his third multi-hit game in June, but Davis' .255 (14-for-55) batting average is actually his best in any month so far this season. He's also collected 13 RBI and 17 runs, however, so despite his BA struggles he's remained very productive.

Davis went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run shot in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays, his fifth straight game with a home run.
EDGE Analysis
The power surge has Davis up to 16 homers on the season, putting three Orioles in the AL's top five (Mark Trumbo leads the league with 20, while Manny Machado also has 16). Davis' 84 strikeouts in 62 games also has him on pace to not just top his own previous high of 208, set last year, but take a run at Mark Reynolds' major league record of 223 K's set in 2009.

Davis went 2-for-3 with a double and two-run homer in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Make it four straight games with a round-tripper for Davis, who appears intent on making up for a down power month in May. The veteran slugger went yard only three times last month, but now has five homers in just 30 May at-bats, along with nine RBI. His strikeout streak also remained intact however, as the 30-year old whiffed for an eighth consecutive contest Saturday.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old slugger is enjoying a nice power surge at the moment, as he's now notched a round-tripper in three straight games. He's knocked four out of the park already in June overall, and has now reached base safely in five consecutive contests. While the strikeouts persist-- with Davis already whiffing 11 times in just 24 at-bats during the month-- he's at least rewarding the Orioles and fantasy owners with some impactful contact.

Davis went 2-for-3 with his 13th homer and three RBI against the Blue Jays on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After one game out of the lineup due to a thumb injury, Davis got right back in there and looked none the worse for wear. That said, the slugger's continuing to live up to the every-other-year reputation he's established over the last few seasons -- his homer totals and batting averages have both yo-yoed for years, and this is shaping up to be one of the down campaigns. After he hit .262 with 47 homers last year, he's at .220 with a homer pace in the mid-30s this year, which has to be particularly frustrating for his keeper-league owners.

Davis (thumb) is in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was held out of Wednesday's lineup due to his thumb injury and possibly another ailment or two, but he will return to action following the one-game absence. Davis will man first base and hit cleanup against Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman.

Davis is out of Wednesday's lineup with a thumb injury, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Buck Showalter indicated that the thumb was just one of a couple places ailing Davis, but he also suggested the 30-year-old should be back in the lineup Thursday. Davis could potentially benefit from a day off to clear his head, as he's recorded just three hits (two home runs) over his last nine starts to drop his season average down to .214.
