Davis (knee) is starting Tuesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was excluded from the lineup for five consecutive games while dealing with a sinus infection and knee soreness. However, he was available off the bench over the past three games, and his inclusion in Tuesday's lineup signals that he'll likely be available going forward.

Davis (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will be on the bench for the fifth straight game, with the first three absences from the lineup being the result of a sinus infection. He was scheduled to start in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Rays, but he was ultimately scratched while tending to a sore knee. Given that Davis was still available off the bench for that contest, the Orioles don't appear to view the knee issue as a major concern heading into the upcoming week. Renato Nunez will pick up a start at first base in Davis' stead.

Davis was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Rays due to knee soreness but is available off the bench, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was reportedly past the non-coronavirus illness that had kept him out of the lineup for the past few days, but the report of a new issue explains why he was a late scratch. It appears as though he could be back in the lineup before too long. Pedro Severino entered the lineup in his place and will serve as the designated hitter, pushing Renato Nunez to first base.

Davis (illness) was in the Orioles' original lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays but has since been scratched, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had missed the Orioles' previous three games with a non-coronavirus illness and will miss at least one more. Renato Nunez will move from designated hitter to first base in his absence, with Pedro Severino added to the lineup as the designated hitter.

Davis remains out of the lineup Friday against the Rays but feels fine and tested negative for coronavirus, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran first baseman believes he was battling nothing worse than a sinus infection. There's no guarantee he'd be in the lineup even if healthy, given that he hasn't hit above .200 since 2017. Pat Valaika will be the first baseman Friday.

Davis is unavailable Wednesday against the Yankees for undisclosed reasons, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not clear when Davis is expected to return, though he hasn't been placed on any injured list, so there's a chance his absence is brief. Renato Nunez starts at first base in his absence, opening up the designated hitter spot for Dwight Smith.

Davis is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is 1-for-11 this season, but on the bright side, he only has one strikeout. Renato Nunez will start at first base while Dwight Smith starts at designated hitter.

Davis has slashed .467/.615/1.067 with three home runs and nine RBI over 26 plate appearances this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had struggled to generate much production at the plate over the past two seasons, but his production in Grapefruit League play harkened back to his glory years ahead of his age-34 season. He was exhibiting a better approach at the plate while also being more aggressive, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. While the first baseman's production has been encouraging so far, it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to translate his spring numbers into results during the regular season once baseball activities resume.

Davis (illness) resumed on-field workouts Friday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger was also seen participating in batting practice, so he appears to be clear of the illness that sidelined him earlier this week. Davis struggled with a .179/.276/.326 slash line and 12 home runs in 105 games last season and put on 25 pounds over the winter in hopes of regaining some of his former power.
