Chris Davis Dealing With Strained Back
4 years agoBaltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (back) was held out of the team's spring training lineup on Tuesday after he strained his lower back in Sunday's spring opener, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Davis is considered day-to-day. After hitting just .115 without a home run in 16 games last season, Davis needed to earn at-bats in a reserve role entering camp this year. He was on the injured list twice last season with left patella tendinitis. Turning 35 later this month, Davis is signed through the 2022 season and is owed more than $46 million. But he's hit just .185 with a .615 OPS since the start of the 2017 season. The left-handed slugger needs to get back on the field as soon as possible to prove that he still has something left in the tank.
