BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis will miss the rest of the season after surgery to repair the labrum in his left hip.
The 35-year-old has not played since Baltimore’s spring training opener in February and will be sidelined for four-to-five months.
General manager Mike Elias said Davis should be able to make a full return for spring training in 2022, the final season of Davis’ $161 million, seven-year contract.
Davis reported pain in his lower back and hip in spring training, when he took only two at-bats.
