Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was left out of the lineup for Wednesday’s home opener against the New York Yankees for unspecified reasons, manager Brandon Hyde said.
Davis, who started all three games this weekend against the Boston Red Sox and spoke Tuesday night of both his and the Orioles’ desire to continue on through this season despite the Miami Marlins’ COVID-19 outbreak, is the only player not available Wednesday, Hyde said.
Hyde indicated that no roster move was being made for Davis, but that he was not at the ballpark.
Hyde is typically forthcoming with player availability except for certain personal medical situations.
