After second day of early batting practice, Chris Davis could return to Orioles lineup Thursday

For the second straight day at Camden Yards, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis did early hitting work with hitting coach Don Long before the rest of the team took the field for batting practice in an effort to get him back on track this season.

Davis, who set a major league record with 49 straight at-bats without a hit with an 0-for-5 performance Monday against the Oakland Athletics, was left out of the lineup by manager Brandon Hyde for a second straight day Wednesday. Hyde doesn't expect it to be a long absence.

"He had another good workday on the field today, him and Don out there the last couple days doing some drills," Hyde said.
