Chris Davis (oblique) could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Sunday. Davis went 1-for-4 with a single in a rehab game with Double-A Bowie Saturday and played all nine innings at first base. He told reporters after the game that he was ready to go. Assuming Davis doesn't report any ill after effects Sunday, he should be activated.

Chris Davis (oblique) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Saturday. He's on track to return to the Orioles lineup early next week barring any setbacks. Before landing on the disabled list, the hulking first baseman slashed .250/.372/.382 with a pair of homers and 13 RBI in his first 22 contests.

Chris Davis (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment on Saturday. It's not clear which affiliate he'll be assigned to, but Davis will be cleared for game action assuming he gets through batting practice Friday with no issues (and BP isn't rained out, which Orioles manager Buck Showalter is worried about). The first baseman is in line to be activated early next week. "He's going to take regular BP tomorrow on the field off a coach, and if that goes well, and he comes in Saturday feeling good, we could potentially do that," Showalter said Thursday of sending Davis on a rehab assignment. "That's what we're thinking."

Chris Davis (oblique) is scheduled to take batting practice on the field Friday. It will be his first live BP session since he landed on the disabled list April 26 with a strained left oblique. Davis took 20 swings in a cage Thursday and felt fine. He should be back with the Orioles next week.

Chris Davis (oblique) took 25 swings and made 30 throws on Tuesday afternoon. It was his first time swinging and first time throwing since he was placed on the disabled list April 26 with a strained left oblique. Davis should be back with the Orioles early next week. He's eligible to be activated Sunday but may need a little more time than that.

Chris Davis (oblique) did some rehab work in the pool on Monday. Davis had a light workout over the weekend and might soon get clearance to ramp things up with baseball activities. He is eligible to rejoin the Orioles on Sunday, but it's unclear if he'll be ready by then.

Davis had a light workout Saturday and said it's the first day since landing on the DL that he hasn't felt any pain in his oblique.

Chris Davis (oblique) did a light workout Saturday. Davis says he is discomfort-free with the help of a cortisone injection. He will ramp up the intensity of his workouts next week and should be ready to rejoin the Orioles before the middle of May.

Chris Davis was given a cortisone injection for his strained left oblique. Davis plans to travel with the team to Minnesota and Tampa Bay while he's on the disabled list. Oblique injuries can be tricky, so he's no sure thing to be ready when he's first eligible.

Orioles placed 1B Chris Davis on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 26, with a strained left oblique. Davis was injured during Friday's game. The Orioles are hopeful that he'll be ready when his 15 days are up but concede that it's unlikely to be the case. The club will mix and match at first base while he's out.
