Davis is not starting Friday against Boston, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's clear that Davis' role is being reduced, as he's now started just one of the last four games. With no hits and a 43.2 percent strikeout rate so far this season, the veteran certainly hasn't done anything to carve out a larger role. Trey Mancini starts at first base.

Davis is out of the lineup for the second straight game Wednesday against Oakland, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had sat on three prior occasions this season, but all three came against lefties. Wednesday's day off against righty Frankie Montas is potentially a significant one. At some point, not even Davis' massive contract will keep him in the lineup over younger, more promising players, and Wednesday's game is potentially a movement in that direction. The slumping veteran remains hitless through his first 28 at-bats this season, striking out 46.9 percent of the time.

Davis is not in Tuesday's lineup against the A's, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He should probably sit against every pitcher at this point, but Davis will at least take a seat when same-handed pitchers are on the mound. Rio Ruiz gets the start at first base against southpaw Brett Anderson while Trey Mancini patrols right field.

Davis is not in the lineup Saturday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Trey Mancini will be starting at first base and Joey Rickard will be in right field so Davis can have the day off against Yankees lefty J.A. Happ. Davis has zero hits and eight strikeouts in 21 plate appearances this season, but has been given the start in six of the first eight games of the year.

Davis is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off a disastrous 2018 campaign, Davis slashed just .189/.318/.432 in 15 games this spring and opened the regular season on an inauspicious note Thursday, striking out in all three of his plate appearances. He'll take a seat Saturday with lefty James Paxton on the bump and could regularly find himself out of the lineup versus the southpaws in 2019.

Davis will hit seventh and start at first base Thursday in the Orioles' season opener against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been a mainstay in the heart of the order for most of his tenure with the Orioles but a disastrous 2018 campaign and underwhelming spring training will relegate him to the bottom third of the lineup to kick off 2019. The former star slugger has a clear path to regular at-bats at first base but shouldn't warrant much attention outside of AL-only leagues until he shows notable improvement from his 2018 numbers.

Manager Brandon Hyde said that Davis (hip) felt good after returning to the Orioles' Grapefruit League lineup in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Playing for the first time in more than a week, Davis started at designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with an RBI single. With Davis reporting no renewed discomfort with his left hip, he's slated to play again Thursday versus the Twins, though it's unclear if he'll slot back in at first base or be relegated to DH duty again.

Davis (hip) will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and bat third Tuesday in the team's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been sidelined for about a week with a left hip flexor strain, an injury he sustained while reeling in a throw up the first-base line. After receiving some treatment over the last several days, Davis feels well enough to hit, but the Orioles may choose to wait a bit longer before returning him to his normal post at first base. Prior to getting hurt, Davis was off to a slow start to the spring with one hit (a home run) and seven strikeouts in 12 at-bats.

Davis' (hip) MRI revealed no issues Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hip issues have kept Davis out of the lineup since Tuesday and are likely to keep him out a few more days. His hip is feeling much better, but he isn't expected to play before Tuesday or Wednesday.

Davis (hip) is out of the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles have been withholding Davis from action since last Sunday, when he tweaked his left hip while reeling in a throw up the first-base line. Though Davis reported Friday that his condition was improving, the Orioles still elected to send him in for a precautionary MRI. Assuming the MRI revealed no new concerns, Davis could rejoin the lineup at some point during the upcoming week.
