Orioles manager Buck Showalter is hopeful that Chris Davis (oblique) can return in 15 days but isn't expecting it. "The normal time (for an oblique strain) is more than the DL period but we'll see," the skipper said. Davis will officially be placed on the DL later Sunday. The Orioles are expected to mix and match at first base while he's out.
